Developed by the L&G Re team using Amazon Web Services (AWS), the platform will replace multiple processes and systems conventionally used to support each function.

Amazon Managed Blockchain provided by Amazon Web Services ensures that multiple parties can transact with each other without requiring an intermediary. It offers all members with a copy of the ledger database, ensuring greater transparency.

Legal & General Re CEO Thomas Olunloyo said: “‘estua-re’ is the result of market leading innovation led by the L&G Re team and an exciting milestone in the deployment of blockchain in the long term reinsurance space.

“Using AWS we have been able to create a solution that addresses not only the greater speeds at which risks are transacted but also drives transparency and security in an increasingly interconnected market.
