Revolutionizing the Insurance Customer Experience

 

Seamless Integration Within Your Ecosystem

Customers today expect insurance solutions to be available when and where they need them most. Leading insurtech companies understand this need, and in response have developed sophisticated integration capabilities that allow insurance services to be embedded directly within existing platforms and customer touchpoints.

 

Through our customizable integration options, we at Covered enable partners to embed insurance solutions at critical moments in the customer journey — whether during mortgage origination, auto lending, or everyday banking interactions. This integration allows customers to explore and compare insurance plans directly within their trusted financial platforms, creating a seamless experience at the exact moment coverage decisions are most relevant.

 

Through API-driven solutions, insurance capabilities can be seamlessly incorporated into banking platforms, lending processes, and financial service applications. Covered's integration technology powers some of the nation's largest financial institutions, with partners like Blend and ICE Servicing Digital leveraging our API to deliver seamless insurance experiences within their existing ecosystems. This integration eliminates the traditional disconnect between primary transactions and insurance requirements, creating more cohesive customer experiences.

 

Tech-Enabled Insurance Marketplace

The insurance marketplace has evolved beyond simple comparison tools to become a sophisticated ecosystem powered by advanced technology. Modern insurtech platforms leverage data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to provide personalized insurance recommendations based on customer profiles and needs. Covered's marketplace automates complex processes while maintaining a personal touch, leveraging extensive data capabilities, including property information, registered vehicles, and driver details for precise quote generation.

 

Tech-enabled marketplaces offer a comprehensive view of available insurance options while maintaining strict compliance with industry regulations. SOC 2 Type II certified since 2019, Covered ensures the privacy of customer information while delivering an efficient, automated insurance shopping experience that adheres to state and federal regulations such as GLBA and RESPA.

 

Multiple Quotes in Minutes

Gone are the days of waiting hours or days for insurance quotes. Advanced insurtech platforms can now generate multiple quotes from various carriers in minutes, allowing customers to make informed decisions quickly. Covered's marketplace provides access to an extensive network of top-rated carriers, enabling quick quote comparisons across 28 different insurance products. These include everything from home and life insurance to auto and pet insurance, ensuring comprehensive coverage options for diverse customer needs.

 

The ability to compare multiple quotes simultaneously saves time while promoting transparency in pricing and coverage options. Covered's embedded insurance marketplace allows customers to easily understand their choices to select the most appropriate coverage for their needs.
