The technology offers a risk profile and score for each business and commercial property by blending the digital footprint of a business with insurers’ internal data.
The aim is to enhance conversion, retention as well as reduced loss ratios by enabling underwriters to gain more insights on risk factors.
Cytora CEO Richard Hartley said: “We believe AI underwriting is the future of the industry, and we’re thrilled to be working with QBE at the forefront of this transformation.”
At present, Cytora’s technology will allow QBE underwriters in the UK to gain access to property and real estate risk scores.
