Aviva Expands Financial Institutions Underwriting Across UK Regions

Aviva is expanding its financial institutions insurance business beyond London as it seeks broader growth in the UK financial services market. Embedding specialist underwriters in regional networks is designed to give local brokers more direct access to technical expertise, reduce referrals to central teams and speed up decisions for clients regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

From August 2026, Aviva will deploy dedicated financial institutions underwriting specialists across its UK regional network outside London. Brokers in those markets will be able to obtain technical support and underwriting decisions more directly. The insurer is also launching five products for FCA-regulated firms, broadening its offering as part of a nationwide financial services growth strategy.
