ECF

The original version of The Electronic Claims File allows Lloyd’s carriers to review and respond to claims electronically for the first time, whilst enabling brokers to supply an entire claims file electronically to all insurers “on risk” at the same time.

What is ECF?

The Electronic Claim File (ECF) is the combination of the Insurers’ Market Repository (IMR) and the Claims Loss Advice and Settlement System (CLASS). It enables carriers to review and respond to claim documents, claim data and claim financials in an electronic format.

ECF2

ECF2 is the enhancement of The Electronic Claim File, allowing Lloyd’s & Company carriers to review and respond to claims electronically from one central system. For a more detailed view of the component parts of ECF2, visit the ‘ About ECF2′ and ‘ Technical’ pages.

What is CLASS?

The Claims Loss Advice and Settlement System (CLASS) is used by brokers to create new, and update existing, claim records with data and financials supplied by the client.

What is the IMR?

The Insurers’ Market Repository (IMR) is a document library allowing claim and policy documentation to be stored and linked back to policy and claim records created by the broker.
