MIB

MIB is the trading name of Mediterranean Insurance Brokers (Malta) Ltd, a privately owned insurance broker and risk management firm based in Qormi. A broker gathers quotations from several insurers, helps you pick a suitable one and then acts for you if you need to claim. MIB serves individuals, small businesses and large corporate clients, and its slogan is Covering your world, the world over.

The firm appears on VisitMalta.co.uk in our directory of insurance providers in Malta, alongside insurers and other brokers.

A long established Maltese broker

MIB is Malta's largest insurance broker and risk management services firm and a local pioneer in the field, with more than 50 years of experience behind it. It works with some of Malta's major public and private organisations, has around 60 staff and handles about 50 lines of insurance. The firm is independent and privately owned, and it corresponds with leading international broking firms, which gives it access to both Maltese and overseas insurance markets.

Mediterranean Insurance Brokers (Malta) Ltd, company number C3540, is enrolled under the Insurance Distribution Act and regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority. Readers wanting background on how the sector is supervised can read our overview of financial services in Malta.

Personal and small business cover

Individuals can arrange health, home, travel, motor, boat, personal accident and life insurance. For a UK national moving to the island, motor, home and health policies are usually the first to sort out, and our relocation guide for UK readers explains the wider steps. Small businesses have their own product, aimed at owners who want straightforward protection while they grow.

Clients receive several quotations and help choosing between them, and MIB handles claims on their behalf and manages the programme day to day, so you are not left to deal with the fine print alone.

Corporate and specialist insurance

Larger organisations can buy transit, liability, marine, aviation, property, engineering and construction insurance, as well as financial risks and professional indemnity cover. Employee benefits and risk consultancy complete the corporate range. A specialist line covers cyber insurance and the exposures of iGaming operators, which suits the many gaming businesses on the island, and our iGaming in Malta guide explains that sector.

Fleet insurance is a good example of the detail on offer. A company can put several vehicles on one policy, whether comprehensive, third party fire and theft or third party only, and fleet terms are normally offered to businesses with more than ten vehicles. A separate tool of trade policy provides third party liability for vehicles such as cranes while they work.

People, structure and community

The board of directors includes Joseph G. Cutajar, Tonio Briffa, Ivan Muscat, Alejando Borg and Maria Micallef, and a senior management team of eight leads day to day work. Staff work in technical teams covering business development, corporate clients, SME and personal lines, claims management, finance, ICT and administration, each under qualified directors.

MIB's working principles are to act responsibly, to be specialist experts, to be resourceful and to care about each client, which it backs with a mission of exceeding expectations on service. It has also hosted awareness sessions for staff in October, including talks on breast cancer awareness by Hospice Malta and Europa Donna.

Visiting MIB in Qormi

The office is on Level 2 of the Zentrum Business Centre on Mdina Road, Qormi, open Monday to Friday from 08:15 to 17:00. Qormi lies close to the old capital, which you can discover with our Mdina guide, and our page for HSBC's Qormi branch is useful because MIB clients can pay premiums by internet banking.
