The amount of the financial guarantee referred to in article R. 512-15 must be at least equal to the sum of 115,000 euros and may not be less than twice the average monthly amount of funds collected by the intermediary, calculated on the basis of funds collected over the last twelve months preceding the month of the date of subscription or renewal of the guarantee undertaking.
In calculating the amount of the guarantee, account is taken of the total funds collected by the intermediary and entrusted to him by policyholders for payment to insurance companies or by any natural or legal person for payment to policyholders. Payments for which the intermediary has received a written mandate from an insurance company expressly entrusting him with the collection of premiums and, incidentally, the settlement of claims, will be deducted from this total.
