JAN BANDKE (*1988) | Certified Financial Services Specialist (IHK):
“We are always aware that we work with the assets and life situations of other people. That is only possible with a high degree of responsibility. I want to be able to look my clients in the eye many years after a contract has been signed.”
Lars C. Arnold (*1968) | Certified Business Specialist (IHK):
“What makes BANDKE Assekuranz special is that we put ourselves fully in the position of our clients. An individual needs analysis is the foundation of our objective advice. I always imagine how I would like to be treated as a client myself. Then I know exactly how I have to work.”
Jan Bandke is a partner and managing director of BANDKE Assekuranz-Makler UG. He has been interested in all topics relating to investments, insurance and retirement provision since his early youth.
Jan Bandke successfully completed his training as an insurance specialist (Versicherungsfachmann, IHK) in 2008 with the IHK examination. His subsequent positions took him through various sales organisations. However, the product- and commission-driven selling promoted there did not match his idea of needs-based advice. For this reason, Jan Bandke has been working as an independent insurance broker since 2012.
In addition, in 2019 he decided to undertake a two-year further training program, which he successfully completed as a Bachelor Professional of Financial Advisory (IHK).
Lars C. Arnold is a partner and authorised officer (Prokurist) of BANDKE Assekuranz-Makler UG. His interest in all matters relating to insurance and finance was sparked early on.
Until 1994 he completed his training as an insurance specialist (BWV) at a life insurance company of the Allianz Group. His focus was on private and occupational retirement and health provision. This was followed by positions at a direct insurer, a composite insurer, in a bank cooperation, at an asset management firm and finally at an owner-managed insurance broker. Over these years Lars Arnold eventually rose to become nationwide Head of Sales and Marketing. In December 2013 he successfully passed the examination as a Certified Business Specialist (Wirtschaftsfachwirt, IHK). From 2014 onwards he acquired extensive specialist knowledge of commercial property and financial-loss insurance. Since 2017 he has been responsible for sales at BANDKE Assekuranz-Makler UG.
Jan Bandke and Lars Arnold met in 2013 while working together on a project. Even then, they made the plan to found a joint insurance brokerage for the self-employed.
