The IFB launched on July 26th 2006 and was formed to provide a cost effective, tactical solution for the detection and prevention of organised, cross industry fraud, supporting the wider ABI/industry fraud strategy. The formation of the IFB is tangible proof that the insurance industry has the appetite to work collaboratively to combat fraud.

The IFB collates and combines data available from industry databases to develop cross-industry intelligence. The IFB leads or co-ordinates the industry responses to the identification of potentially fraudulent networks, Investigations are supported by the close relationships with police and law enforcement agencies.
