Communicate with Coalition: Chat & Email
Through Big "I" Markets, registered agents access Coalition's cyber liability platform to quote and bind coverage, as well as work directly with the underwriters.

To discuss risks further, modify quotes, ask application and coverage questions, and maintain issued policies, a chat feature is provided on the platform to contact Coalition directly. Within five minutes, Coalition responds to the chat. Keeping the chat open is not necessary, as these responses are emailed directly to the agent for reply and documentation. Learn More

Coalition Cyber: New Multiple Quote Feature
Big “I" Markets registered agents have a new feature on their Coalition Dashboard allowing three limit/retention options to be created and compared.

Upon generating a submission, three limit options will populate. These options can be modified by hovering over the limit section and moving the sliding bar left and right to select the desired limits and retention. After completing the quote, a single document comparing the three options will generate along with each option.

Take a look at Coalition's video for a detailed tutorial of how to use the multi-quote function. Learn More
