Article L341-5 of the French Monetary and Financial Code

Any natural or legal person authorised to carry out banking or financial canvassing activities must be able to provide evidence at all times of the existence of an insurance policy covering it against the financial consequences of its professional civil liability in the event of a breach of its professional obligations as defined in this chapter.

The minimum level of cover that must be provided by professional indemnity insurance is set by decree according to the conditions under which the activity is carried out, in particular the existence of a single mandate or several mandates, and the products and services being canvassed.

Article L341-5

Toute personne physique ou morale mandatée pour exercer des activités de démarchage bancaire ou financier doit être en mesure de justifier à tout moment de l’existence d’un contrat d’assurance la couvrant contre les conséquences pécuniaires de sa responsabilité civile professionnelle, en cas de manquement à ses obligations professionnelles telles que définies au présent chapitre.

Le niveau minimal des garanties qui doivent être apportées par l’assurance de responsabilité civile professionnelle est fixé par décret en fonction des conditions dans lesquelles l’activité est exercée, notamment de l’existence d’un seul ou de plusieurs mandats, et des produits et services faisant l’objet du démarchage.
