Insurtech combines two words “insurance” and “technology,” to form Insurance technology. Insurtech refers to the use of technological innovations built to make existing insurance models more efficient and effective. Simply put, it applies technology to how insurance works. Insurtechseeks to enhance insurance practices and automate their everyday activities. Also, it streamlines policies, and social insurance, and uses new data from Internet-enabled devices to dynamically price premiums according to noted behaviour. Thereby making the overall insurance process seamless and efficient.
Unfortunately, the industry remains an uncharted territory that has vast potential. These potentials remain untapped because of the low rate of insurance adoption in Africa, most especially in Nigeria. A lot of Nigerians see insurance as something they can’t afford, like a luxury. Lack of trust in the system, poor product fit, lack of education on insurance benefits and many more are also reasons people don’t seem to bite the insurance baits.
