SEB Venture Capital joins the likes of Insight Partners, Alfvén & Didrikson, Luminar Ventures, Philian, and Neptunia Invest as Insurely’s investors.

Founded in 2018, Insurely is an open insurance platform, which allows insurers and other financial companies to access real-time data using APIs.

Insurely said that it hopes that the tie-up with SEB will help banks see the advantages of digitising their insurance services.

Insurely CEO and co-founder Martin Einemo said: “As the industry keeps transforming, we can offer banks a competitive edge by giving the end consumers a smoother experience and allowing them to get a digital overview of all their finances in one place.
