Use of Corporate Domain E-mail Addresses by Insurance Agencies

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB: As is known, the Circular on the Registration of Insurance Data in the General Database (2023/24) introduced an obligation for Insurance Agency users to use the agency's corporate domain e-mail address, and it was stated that supervision in this regard is the responsibility of our Union.

In this framework, an opinion was requested from the Insurance and Private Pension Regulation and Supervision Agency as to when the said practice should begin, and the said Agency's letter dated 10.10.2023 and numbered E97354901-010.06.02-2531579 states, in summary, that the use of corporate e-mail addresses should begin immediately for new agencies, and for existing agencies registered in the Register, within the framework of the timetable to be published by the Insurance Information and Monitoring Centre (SBM). In this context, the guide prepared by the SBM is attached, and the said guide states that as of 29 March 2024, the accounts of Sub-Users of existing agencies registered in the Register whose e-mail addresses do not match the Authorized User's e-mail address domain will be deactivated in SBM systems.

In this context, insurance agencies registered in the Register must, by 29 March 2024 at the latest, obtain a corporate domain e-mail address, have the said e-mail address recorded in their Register information, and make the e-mail addresses of their sub-users defined in the SBM compatible with the corporate domain e-mail address and update them in the SBM system.
