Frequently Asked Questions
What is IA Levy?
The Insurance Authority (IA) is the regulator of the Hong Kong insurance industry. A portion of the new IA’s funding will come from a premium Levy to be applied to all insurance policies (apart from certain exempted classes of business) with policy periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The levy will be collected by insurance compaines like Min Xin. Policy holders must pay the levy in accordance with the law.
Starting from the policy year commencing on or after April 1, 2021, the IA Levy will be collected by Min Xin at the applicable rate and cap.
By law, levy is payable together with each premium payment. The Insurance Authority may impose a penalty of up to HK$5,000 on policy owners who do not pay the levy as required on time. If you have any query or different instructions, you may contact Min Xin Insurance Company Ltd. Hong Kong Customer Services Hotlines (852) 2826 3673.

連續五年或以上 60%

(1) 車輛修復完畢後,內地保險服務機構將根據定損核定的維修金額,待被保險人支付維修款後,內地保險服務機構將賠款支付至被保險人賬戶;對於符合直賠的案件,被保險人可無需墊付維修費用,授權內地保險服務機構委託由修理廠代收賠款,內地保險服務機構或保險人直接將賠款支付至修理廠賬戶。
(2) 對於人傷損失案件,根據內地《道路交通事故受傷人員臨床診療指南》對傷者損失確定後,被保險人可根據核定的損失金額支付賠償款給傷者,再由內地保險服務機構或保險人將對應賠款支付至被保險人賬戶;也可進行三方協商,授權內地保險服務機構或保險人將應承擔的賠償款直接支付至第三者賬戶。
