Nationwide to launch digital platform for personal insurance

Nationwide has revealed that within the fourth quarter of this year, it will launch Spire – its new digital insurance platform designed to make purchasing
insurance easier for millennials. The announcement comes shortly after Nationwide launched a digital storefront for its commercial insurance customers and agents. Spire is a mobile website that allows customers to apply for auto insurance coverage by scanning their driver’s license and answering four questions: where do you park, how many miles do you drive, do you own or lease your car, and have you had more than two tickets in the past year? It was developed to address the pain points millennial consumers usually experience when buying insurance.
