Why NMU Products & Services Claims News & Events Contact us Careers NMU / Products & Services / Terrorism Insurance Terrorism Insurance The changing nature of attacks and why terrorism insurance is important to businesses Modern terrorist attacks (such as lone-wolf perpetrators) may not result in catastrophic property losses but they can still result in significant financial consequences without terrorism insurance. Many such financial losses remain uninsured in the market. The provision of cover for non-damage terrorist acts is essential in the current climate, especially those that are reliant on public footfall and custom, such as high street retail, hospitality and entertainment industries. With over 10 years’ experience in providing standalone terrorism and sabotage insurance across the United Kingdom and further afield, and, in a market that has evolved at a faster pace in recent years than ever before, NMU offer three bespoke products.

It is also a cost-effective solution for clients who: have multi-location exposures, and so can benefit from a combined material damage and business interruption floating first-loss sum insured, better reflecting their perception of the risk; have overseas exposures, beyond the confines of England, Scotland and Wales; would like to be able to choose which locations to insure and which locations to not insure, according to their perception of the risk. In many cases, the cover offered by traditional placement routes is narrower than the terrorism exclusion in the underlying material damage and business interruption policy, whereas the cover given by the standalone wording is a better fit and can also include risks not catered for elsewhere such as individuals acting alone and sabotage.
