Kidnap and Ransom Insurance for Expatriates

McKinley International has teamed up with International Insurance and Investments LLC to offer the International Executive Security Monitor, the premier resource on the internet for information on Kidnap and Ransom Insurance and international executive security in general.

The site is informational in nature but McKinley International Risk Management can be contacted if kidnap and ransom insurance quotes are needed for executive travelers and expatriates living and working in high risk countries such as Haiti, Iraq, Colombia, Mexico, Philippines, Yemen, Afghanistan, Nigeria, etc.

The information at International Executive Security Monitor will be updated at least once a week in 2010.

Country Specific Expatriate Destinations Guide Now Completed

After a series of updates and revisions, the expatriate country by country guide is finally completed.  Here expatriates, and employers that send expatriates into these countries, can find out essential information about the expatriate assignment in each country including the following:

1. Whether the host country requires that the expatriate buy locally admitted insurance in order to remain in the country.
2. If the local host country healthcare system extends to cover local nationals outside of the host country.
3. The need for various insurance products in the country.  For example, kidnap and ransom insurance need ranks very high for Mexico, but very low for Australia.
4. The need for various international service products for expatriates in each country like cross cultural training and international EAP.
5. A description of the host country market for local healthcare.

The country guides for expatriates will be updated at least quarterly so the information is always timely.  If there is any urgent news that affects expatriate assignments in any one particular country, it will be updated in 48 hours.
