Life insurers now realise that building digital relationships with clients is essential to remaining competitive. This is a pivotal opportunity for both startups and incumbents who can effectively deliver new mobile strategies to acquire, underwrite, and increase the value of customers throughout their life. Customers expect speed, simplicity, and 24/7 service delivered on demand.
Digitization of life insurance, along with health insurance, will transform these two highly regulated industries significantly in the years to come. Digital mobile lifestyle solutions will play a significant role in engaging and motivating people to adopt healthier lifestyles.
