Shaping the future of insurance at Cytora Summit 2019

Insurance is a vital part of the global economy, giving businesses the confidence to realise their ambitions in the face of uncertainty and protect themselves from loss. Yet the underlying systems that commercial insurance is built on are not working. 

Underwriting decisions are made using outdated and incomplete information, and the entire process is antiquated and manual, making it difficult for insurers to assess risks quickly and accurately. Consumers and insurers both lose out because operating costs are unnecessarily high and the customer experience isn’t good which leads to a lack of trust.

With such great disparities in performance, building a more efficient underwriting process has become a major focus for the industry. 

A programmable future  

Access to new technology and data has grown exponentially in recent years, which has led to significant improvements in the way insurers can assess risk. 

Once insurers have the right data infrastructure in place, underwriting for small to mid-market risks will become completely programmatic, and pricing decisions will be instantaneous. In turn, frictional costs for insurers will decrease, enabling them to pass savings on to the end customer.

Programmatic underwriting will see machines do repetitive jobs such as gathering data, verifying documents, and filling forms. This frees up underwriters to spend more time on risk assessment, product development and customer relationships.
