Traditionally insurance brokers in New Zealand have operated on a sales-based commission model, with higher premiums equating to higher commissions. Tandem is not your traditional insurance broker. Tandem handles client’s insurance needs on an open and transparent fee model basis, with no sales commission. We believe this approach helps foster transparency and integrity.

The insurance broking industry in New Zealand is dominated by large multinational companies. Tandem prides itself on being 100% Kiwi owned, nimble, and truly valuing its clients. With Tandem you are never ‘just another number’.

Tandem is part of Australasia’s leading insurance broking network, Insurance Advisernet. providing unrivalled choice and value for our clients. Every day we provide expertise and advice in all facets of insurance and risk management. Ultimately, we see our role as your dedicated insurance partner. Protecting what’s most important to you is what’s most important to us.

Tandem noun – a relationship between two persons or things involving cooperative action, mutual dependence, etc. to work in tandem
