Information about Caveo

What does Caveo stand for?

Caveo consists of a team of experts from the fields of insurance, banking and IT. Caveo is registered as an independent insurance broker in the FINMA register. This means that we are not tied to insurance companies or banks. We work exclusively on behalf of the client. We are convinced that the quality of service in insurance and pension advice must improve significantly.

With Caveo, we are changing the existing rules between insurance companies, banks and their customers:

  • Because we need modern and digital insurance and pension advice that is independent, fair and understandable, thereby creating new (customer) trust.
  • Because an insurance and pension application is needed that allows customers to recognize, reduce and master the complexity of insurance and pension issues.
  • Because customers deserve more freedom of choice, competition, transparency and commitment, so that financial service providers must also deliver what they promise.
  • Because a relationship must always be based on equality and customers must regain control of their insurance benefits and their retirement provision in order to realize their financial goals and wishes.
What advantages do I have with Caveo?

We believe that insurance doesn't have to be complicated. We manage your insurance contracts for you so that you simply have clarity.

  • Full digital overview of your insurance and pension provision
  • of your existing contracts in terms of price
  • Better offers from the entire insurance market
  • Financial freedom thanks to a consolidated view, our expertise and a reduction in the complexity of issues
  • Independent and evidence-based advice

At Caveo, you can get flexible advice from our experts by phone, e-mail or chat. On request, our advisors will optimize your insurance or private pension provision and find the offer that best suits you and your needs.

How does Caveo earn its money?

Caveo is compensated by the insurers in the form of standard brokerage fees or commissions. This does not result in any additional costs for you. If you would like to see the compensation paid to you, we will be happy to show you the details. Our advisors are paid a fixed salary so that no conflicts of interest can arise.

What is the broker mandate?

With a mandate, you formally instruct us to look after and manage your insurance contracts and to obtain the necessary information and any offers from the insurance companies. However, you still decide yourself whether to take out or change your insurance policies. At the same time, you revoke the advisory mandate of your previous insurance advisor or broker.

What if I already have a broker mandate?

By signing the broker mandate, you authorize Caveo to manage and administer all your insurance contracts. An existing broker mandate is thereby rendered invalid.

Can I use Caveo's services even if I do not sign the broker mandate?

No. The signing of the broker mandate and the associated authorization of Caveo is binding. In order for us to receive information and your insurance policies from the insurance companies, we need a signed broker mandate.

As a Caveo customer, can I stay with my current insurance company?

Yes, you can stay with your current insurance company. We will only draw your attention to offers from competitors if you would receive the desired insurance cover at better conditions. You decide whether to change your insurance or cancel it without replacement. However, you must give up your relationship with your existing advisor at the company in question.

How does Caveo receive my insurance information? And how long does it take until this information is available?

When you register, you sign our broker mandate. By doing so, you instruct and authorize us to act as your insurance broker. We send the broker mandate to the insurers you have specified in the Caveo app. The insurance companies then send us your insurance contracts and your contract information. Depending on the insurer, it may take a while (approx. 14 to 21 days) before we receive the policies and can make them available to you in the app. We will inform you as soon as they have been entered in your Caveo app.

Why do I have to provide a signature when registering?

During the registration process, you formally authorize us through the broker mandate to take care of the management and administration of your insurance contracts and to obtain the necessary information and any offers from the insurance companies. However, you still decide yourself whether to take out or change your insurance policies. At the same time, you revoke the advisory mandate of your previous insurance advisor or broker. We need your signature for this.

Why do I have to upload a photo of my ID/passport?

We will use this data to check your details. For the ID, you only need to upload the front page.

I have selected an insurance company with which I have not concluded a contract. How can I remove it again?

Simply send us an e-mail asking us to remove the desired insurance. We will remove it from the app immediately and inform you.

How can I terminate the Caveo broker mandate?

The cooperation can be terminated at any time and without notice. The customer account and any broker mandate can be easily terminated with a written notification (e-mail). Send us an e-mail to [info@caveo](mailto:hello@caveo.ch).ch - this is sufficient. Please write to us from the e-mail address with which you are registered with Caveo. We will then take care of prompt implementation.

The Caveo app on your cell phone

How do I install the Caveo app on my cell phone?

Our application (website) is based on so-called responsive web design, which means that the page automatically adapts to the size of the screen (desktop, cell phone, tablet). The complete registration takes about 3 minutes. Open the app on your cell phone or PC and enter your cell phone number. We will send a verification code to this number by SMS, which you must enter in the app to identify yourself. You then enter your personal details and select from a list where your existing insurance policies are located. To protect your account and your data from misuse, we ask you to identify yourself using the front of your ID. This ensures that only you can log in to the app. Finally, you will be asked to provide a digital signature in the app. As part of this request, a signature screen will automatically appear in the app, where you can simply sign digitally with your finger. Once you have registered and signed the mandate, we will immediately contact your insurance companies to obtain your policies and make them available to you in the app. Depending on the insurer, it may take a while (approx. 14 to 21 days) before we receive the policies and can make them available to you in the app. We will inform you as soon as they have been added to your Caveo app.

On which devices is the app available?

Our website is based on responsive web design, which means that the page automatically adapts to the size of the screen (desktop, mobile, tablet). This means that we are also independent of the various operating systems.
