Zendrive Partners with MoneyLion to Help Millions Save
Zendrive, a mission-driven company making roads safer with data and analytics, today announced its partnership with MoneyLion Inc. (MoneyLion), the go-to destination for personalized financial content, products, and advice. Zendrive is powering MoneyLion’s offering, giving their millions of users a chance to save on their auto insurance with safer driving behavior.

MoneyLion customers can access the program using the MoneyLion app. Once MoneyLion customers opt into the program, Zendrive’s embedded Software Development Kit (SDK) analyzes how users drive during a short test drive experience. During this trial period, users get direct feedback on their driving behavior (i.e., on whether they’re checking their phones or hard braking frequently), which could help them drive safer and boost their chances of earning a discount on auto insurance. Once the test drive is complete, MoneyLion customers that meet the qualification criteria may immediately qualify for an exclusive discount from partner auto insurance offers through Zendrive’s Insurance Qualification Lens (IQL) solution.

News of MoneyLion and Zendrive joining forces aligns with a recent announcement that Zendrive is expanding its IQL solution to over 50M consumers through these types of partnerships with leading US consumer apps.

“At Zendrive, we’re thrilled about extending our IQL program to millions of US consumers through our partnership with MoneyLion, helping drivers across states get an exclusive opportunity to be rewarded for their safer driving habits,”

- Dennis Ellis, President of Zendrive

The partnership with Zendrive helps MoneyLion further its mission – to rewire the financial system so every customer can live their best life without worrying about money – by leveraging data to make insurance fairer and more affordable.

MoneyLion is changing the mindset and culture around money, empowering our customers to take control of their finances and better their future, With Zendrive, we’re taking a big stride toward that effort by making auto insurance more affordable for our users nationwide, said Tim Hong, Chief Product Officer at MoneyLion.

PR Newswire | January 29, 2024

AgentSync today announced the launch of its first commercially available ProducerSync API for carriers, MGAs, and agencies to manage producer and adjuster licensing and appointment validation without the paperwork. The ProducerSync application programming interface (API) acts as a menu, allowing insurance businesses to draw from a selection of National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR) data on licensing, appointing, and personal information for producers. AgentSync humanizes and contextualizes the data so end users have actionable information from the industry source of truth without hours of manual research. "ProducerSync API represents a key step in our long-term strategic vision. By streaming accurate and comprehensive data to our customers' existing systems, ProducerSync API drives better business decisions," said Jenn Knight, Co-Founder and CTO of AgentSync. "We're focused on building modern technology that unlocks value for our customers, and highly flexible and adaptable products like ProducerSync API do exactly that by leveraging current data for better all-around business outcomes." The ProducerSync API uses REST API architecture, making it lightweight, scalable, and flexible, and is the first of AgentSync's planned suite of APIs to be available to the wider insurance market. It joins a family of modern business solutions the company uses to connect the industry.

"ProducerSync API builds on this vision, giving customers programmatic access to NIPR data elements in a way that is highly modular and reusable for a variety of use cases."
