Underwriters typically work at insurance agencies, banks and other financial institutions to approve insurance plans and loans for clients. They read each application to determine if an applicant qualifies for a loan or an insurance policy, confirming that all of the information on the applicant accurately reflects their risk level. They review an applicant’s personal documents such as their driving record, medical history, criminal record, credit report and income statements. Underwriters look for patterns in financial data to determine which applications could have a high risk of financial losses. They assess a company’s losses and try to identify the main sources of loss to better inform the way they vet clients. After performing a risk assessment, the Underwriter decides who to approve and submits a statement explaining their decision.
