We are working as hard as possible to make sure that our employees can continue to provide services and support to you and to customers. Over the coming days and weeks we will continue to update this page.
We are asking that all customers contact their brokers for support and advice in the first instance. The contacts and FAQs below are intended to support you to manage these enquiries.
NEW: How do I pay my monthly account statement or who do I contact if I have any questions?
To continue to protect RSA staff wellbeing, the Finance team will be working remotely with immediate effect. It is therefore not possible to continue to receive and process account payments by cheque each month. To protect the continuation of cover for your customers, please arrange to make payments electronically with the following details:
Sort code 40-02-50
Account number 41407023
You must include the agency number within the payment transfer so RSA can reconcile the payment when received. Please also email the support statement when paying.
To send the supporting statement, if you have any queries with your account statement or are unable to pay electronically please email my.experience@uk.rsagroup.com.
How does working from home affect home insurance cover?
Carrying out clerical work from home, such as using a laptop or phone does not need to be notified. If business visitors are received to the home there are some restrictions such as loss of money or theft that are excluded, unless there is evidence of forcible and violent entry to the property.
Will work equipment be covered at home?
There is no need to add business equipment (e.g. a phone or laptop) owned by a policyholders employer to their policy as this will usually be covered under the employers business insurance.
Any business equipment owned by the policyholder can be covered under the policy. Please check your Policy Schedule and Policy Wording for more details and limits.
Will the home be covered if it is unoccupied due to staying with relatives because of self-isolating, being stuck abroad or being in hospital, will cover continue?
Policy cover usually allows up to 60 days unoccupancy before certain restrictions apply. However, we will waive these restrictions if the unoccupancy is unavoidable as a result of COVID-19.
If it is possible to plan before leaving the property unoccupied, here are some actions that may help to protect the property:
- ask a friend or neighbour to keep an eye on the property
- ensure the windows and doors are locked (and remove keys) and set the alarm
- switch off and unplug electrical items
- turn off the gas at the mains, unless it’s required for an automatically controlled heating system
- Turn off the water at the mains and drain the system unless an automatically controlled heating system requiring the water supply is left in operation
If the home is usually unoccupied during the day, but because of self-isolation is now occupied all of the time, is this something that needs to be notified?
No, it is not a requirement to tell us if the home is occupied more often because of the virus.
If a friend or carer is coming to stay during self-isolation, does cover continue?
If the home is occupied by anyone other than the policyholder or their family, certain restrictions apply. However, RSA will waive these restrictions if the friend or carer is staying as a result of COVID-19. If the friend or carer continues to stay with the policyholder after self-isolation finishes, then the policy will need to be updated.
A policyholder is taking personal belongings to another location where they will be living during self-isolation, are they covered?
Yes, we will cover personal belongings temporarily removed from the home during self-isolation if the policyholder should lose them, they’re damaged in a fire or stolen. Please check the Policy wording for a full list of what RSA do and don’t cover, and details of policy limits.
RSA have requested a valuation within 30 days, but the policyholder is self-isolating so cannot provide one, will cover continue?
Yes, RSA will continue to cover items under normal terms while policyholders have to self-isolate.
Please provide a valuation as soon as possible once restrictions are lifted. RSA will also accept a receipt if this is available and it is advised that the policyholder takes photographs of the item(s).
Renewal documents were not received, because the policyholder was in hospital with coronavirus, RSA were not able to post the documents or no post was delivered due to coronavirus:
If documents have been missed prior to renewal date due to issues relating from COVID-19, then please advise RSA and we will do what we can to either reinstate the policy or arrange a new policy as soon as possible.
