Zurich Launches FaceQuote: Selfie to Life Insurance App

Zurich, the latest victim of a trend. The selfie trend .

Let me explain.

The insurer launched FaceQuote, a tool available on the web and mobile devices that provides a life insurance quote estimate by asking users to upload a selfie. The estimated age, derived from the photo, drives an estimate of a life insurance premium for the users. Later, FaceQuote connects the users with an online portal where they can apply for life insurance based on their estimated premium. Have a look:

The app was developed with Mendix platform, a Boston-based global player creating mobile and web applications.

Bottom Line: in the company of Legal & General America, Digital Fineprint, and Quilt. Note: L&G’s selfie app is powered by Lapetus Solutions.
