Crystal Assist Crystal on a computer screen
Lloyd's has developed "Crystal Assist" in conjunction with the market to provide an induction to Lloyd's licences and regulatory and fiscal requirements that need to be considered when writing international insurance business.

Crystal Assist is delivered via an online tutorial followed by a short knowledge test that in total takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.

It is important that Lloyd's market participants consider Lloyd's licences and regulatory and fiscal requirements when trading worldwide. Breaching international regulations and fiscal requirements can potentially result in fines or other consequences for those involved in the placement and ultimately impact the Lloyd's brand and reputation.

Please note that Crystal Assist is only available to Lloyd’s Market Participants, and that Crystal registration is required to access Crystal Assist.
