CORE INSURANCE, COMPLIANCE
Napier and Utmost Group | February 01, 2023
On January 31st, 2023, Utmost Group, which offers insurance and savings solutions, enhanced its financial compliance capabilities in collaboration with Napier, a customizable anti-financial crime compliance provider.
Napier's client screening solution, which started operations in just 21 days, was implemented to bolster the company's existing compliance strategy and to facilitate future expansion. The Napier team met these stringent deployment deadlines to meet the time constraints imposed by the expiration of licenses held by the outgoing partner.
The Client Screening solution from the company will enhance existing systems by automatically screening clients against sanctions, PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) lists, and other essential watchlists at appropriate intervals. In addition, the AI capabilities will allow for faster screening and help lower the number of false alarms.
Paul Smith, Chief Risk Officer at Utmost International Isle of Man, shared, "We needed to rapidly migrate and then implement our existing screening protocols to the new system, so we were delighted that Napier was able to merge two legacy systems neatly into a single hosted instance while levelling up our capabilities. This really made the difference when managing the upgrade of systems that were being made end-of-life earlier than expected." He added, "Compliance requirements inevitably evolve over time as risks also change and criminals become more sophisticated, so we are delighted to have a robust system now in place that will keep us one step ahead of our obligations and enhance our overall services."

RISK MANAGEMENT, COMPLIANCE
Embroker | January 23, 2023
Embroker, the digital platform that makes business insurance radically simple, recently launched ONE by Embroker, a universal application that uses AI and machine learning to create industry-specific business insurance products.
The streamlined procedure allows brokers and startup founders to acquire immediate quotations for a complete package of products by focusing on critical business information and eliminating the need for needless and redundant questions.
Business owners prefer a one-stop insurance shop so they can focus on running their company. Commercial insurtechs offer many kinds of coverage but no assistance with product selection. Founders and brokers may search numerous sites to find the correct risk management solution, and even then, the coverage may not meet their demands. Insurance agents spend hours shopping around for policies from different companies instead of providing value-added services to their clients. This is hard on businesses and doesn't make the most of the broker's skills.
Ben Jennings, CRO at Embroker, remarked, "Founders and business owners shouldn't be served a one-off, one-size-fits-all solution. When it comes to risk management, businesses need a strategic partner. To truly add value, insurtechs must provide a comprehensive suite of vertically-focused products that address all of their needs."

He further added, "ONE by Embroker does just that. We provide a single-destination solution that replaces the traditionally complicated process through a universal application, generating quotes specific to the policies most appropriate for each business based on the broker or founder's inputs."

As ONE by Embroker evolves to incorporate more policies for more verticals, the estimates will contain all of the coverage a firm requires, whether Embroker products are used or not. Embroker is revolutionizing the way businesses learn about, shop for, and buy insurance by launching the ONE by Embroker platform.
Jonas Edgeworth, CTO at Embroker, stated, "Leveraging our data science capabilities, we've created ONE by Embroker as a universal application that can synthesize and combine products — enhanced with third-party data at scale — to provide a tailored suite of coverage for our customers' needs."

"Essentially, this new technology platform is our growth engine, allowing us to quickly launch new products into the market moving forward," he concluded.
