Cytora has deepened its alliance with Arch Insurance to cover the insurer’s London Market business.
The move brings Cytora’s AI-based risk processing system into Arch’s handling of complex commercial risks, with the aim of digitising submission intake and data enrichment.

Arch’s London Market teams are expected to use the platform to simplify the flow of incoming risks, while improving the quality and consistency of information and helping speed up responses to brokers and clients.
The wider arrangement comes after Cytora had already been working with Arch’s North American insurance operations.
The companies said the set-up is intended to lower operating costs and cut the time needed to process complex risk submissions through automation and more direct workflows.
It is also expected to support underwriting by giving staff risk information in a form that allows more attention on detailed assessment, broker contact and portfolio management.
Other expected effects include easier risk-sharing between syndicates and partners, better data standards and stronger oversight for underwriting and management teams involved in portfolio decisions.
The companies also said the changes should improve service for brokers and clients through quicker, more consistent replies and clearer communication.
Cytora chief commercial officer Juan de Castro said: “The continued expansion of our partnership is a testament to both Arch’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge AI to transform its business and the power of the Cytora platform to help make this happen. Arch and Cytora are showcasing how rapidly and radically commercial risk can be made more efficient, effective and intelligent.”
In 2024, Arch Insurance partnered with Cytora to digitise risk intake and underwriting processes.
