Wakkerpolis

Wakkerpolis is a non-profit organisation based in Utrecht, Netherlands working on justice & legal aid, human rights.

Stichting Wakkerpolis is a Dutch foundation that represents the interests of consumers who hold investment-linked life insurance policies (beleggingsverzekeringen, often called woekerpolissen) and seeks compensation for them. Its work has focused on policies sold by Nationale-Nederlanden, ASR (including Waerdye products), Achmea, Reaal and Aegon, where it has pursued collective legal proceedings, complaints before the Kifid dispute committee and settlements with insurers. It also runs the Wakkerpolis Monitor, which informs policyholders about relevant developments. The foundation works on a no-cure-no-fee basis, with its costs of collection covered by the organisation and a percentage of successful recoveries retained. It is based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and was active from around 2011 onward. Its board and supervisory board include lawyers and former financial supervisory and dispute-body figures.
