FIA Gold Accreditation

What It Takes to Become an FIA Member

FIA membership cannot be bought. Every agency must meet a strict and detailed set of criteria before being accepted, including independent verification of performance, compliance and customer experience.

The FIA focuses on the areas that genuinely matter to clients, including:

Consistent results – Agencies must demonstrate strong local performance, sales outcomes and market knowledge.

Verified client satisfaction – Independent reviews and service standards are assessed in depth to ensure a consistently high customer experience.

Compliance and regulation – Members must meet strict legal and operational requirements, providing reassurance and protection for clients.

Professional development – Agencies are expected to show ongoing learning, accountability and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Only those who meet all requirements are accepted into the network.
