IB+ Data Hub expands value for Canadian insurance professionals

While IB+ Data Hub has launched as a premier data intelligence platform focused on the US insurance sector, its value is now drawing attention north of the border. With curated dashboards, legal insights, and premium content built for insurance decision-makers, Canadian professionals are finding clear strategic reasons to subscribe.

Developed by Insurance Business, IB+ Data Hub provides access to:

• US premium and loss experience data
• Brokerage commission and compensation trends
• Claims litigation analytics and defense cost benchmarks
• Curated legal case summaries relevant to insurance
• Regulatory updates and compliance monitoring

Though built on US data, the platform delivers clear strategic value to Canadian insurers, brokers, underwriters, and legal professionals - especially those with US exposure, multinational ties, or ambitions to expand cross-border.

• Monitor US regulatory themes that may be echoed in Canadian provinces

4. For strategists, analysts & executives
