First Notification of Loss

First Notification of Loss (FNOL), handled the moment it matters most

The first call after a loss sets the tone for everything that follows. Our ancillary-only FNOL service captures the details accurately, represents your brand faithfully, and gets your customers moving forward, fast.

A first call that sets the tone

When a policyholder needs to report a loss, they want two things: to be heard, and to know what happens next. Our FNOL team delivers both, every time.

We specialise in ancillary claims, with trained staff available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We’re flexible in how we work. If a partner needs a process, script or system we don’t already have, we’ll develop it. The result is a first notification service built around your customers and your brand.

  • 24/7/365 cover

  • Built for scale

    Our systems and teams handle high call volumes without losing accuracy or consistency.

Frequently asked questions

First Notification of Loss FAQs

What is FNOL in insurance?

FNOL stands for First Notification of Loss, the initial report a policyholder makes when they need to claim. How that first contact is handled shapes the customer’s entire claims experience.

Do you handle FNOL for all insurance products, or just ancillary?

FNOL is available for ancillary claims and as part of TPA services. Coplus doesn’t provide full FNOL for accident management claims.

Can your FNOL service integrate with our existing claims systems?

Integration is agreed case by case, often by secure SFTP data transfer or working in your system through authorised user accounts.

Is FNOL available outside office hours?

Yes. Coplus provides 24/7 FNOL and claims handling from its in-house Norwich team.

Will your team represent our brand, or Coplus?

Your brand. The service can be fully white-labelled, and staff are trained to understand your brand and values.
