What is Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL)?
In short
The Australian permission to provide a named financial service in Australia, with InsureandGo Australia and World Nomads each holding one: AFSL 552106 and 308461.
An Australian Financial Services Licence is the permission that lets its holder provide a named financial service in Australia, such as advice about a financial product or running a claims service for an insurer, and the number after the letters identifies the holder on the Australian Securities and Investments Commission register: InsureandGo Australia lists AFSL 552106 and World Nomads lists 308461.
The licence tells you a supervisor is watching the provider. It says nothing about premiums, limits or how quickly a claim is paid, so weigh it alongside those.
