Why OceanMind
OceanMind represents
the client, not the insurer.
Independent, and it shows
No agency to feed. Cover goes wherever the wording, the capacity and the claims record read best for your risk.
One advisor, who knows the file
A name and a direct line, not a ticket in a queue. Whoever placed your cover is who answers later.
Your claim stays with your advisor
Run by the person who placed the cover, not an outsourced centre — prepared, argued, and escalated when an answer doesn't hold up.
Paid transparently, in writing
Commission, fee, or both, and who pays it — set out in writing before you sign anything.

FAQs
The most common questions people ask before they move their cover to OceanMind.
Direct channels present one insurer's terms on one product. A broker assesses your risk profile, negotiates placement across multiple insurers, and manages the relationship over the life of the programme, including renewals, mid-term changes, and claims. Our fee is paid by the insurer on placement.
Full transparency: we earn a commission from the insurer, a flat advisory fee, or a combination, agreed with you before we start. We'll never push a policy because it pays us more.
No. OceanMind is an independent broker and an authorised Financial Services Provider. We place cover across a panel of domestic and international insurers and select on merit, meaning wording, terms, and price, rather than on an agency relationship.
A named advisor who stays with your account, supported by our claims team. You aren't handed to whoever answers the phone, and you don't re-explain your business every time something changes.
They're identified, managed, and disclosed to you in writing. Our conflict of interest policy and complaints procedure are published in full on this site, so you can read them before you appoint us rather than after.
