Old Mutual Nigeria launches digital platform to deepen insurance experience through brokers

As part of its commitment to enabling Nigerians with ease of access to insurance products, the Nigerian subsidiary of pan-African insurance firm and leading global financial services provider, Old Mutual Limited (OML), has launched online platform for brokers.

Insurance brokers are one of the most critical stakeholder groups in the onboarding of insurance customers and contribute about 70 percent of total industry premium.

The innovative digital platform will ensure online service delivery to the insurance broker is seamless and convenient, thereby engendering a rich engagement experience for their customers.

The platform serves the end-to-end purpose of allowing brokers to request and review quotes, achieve transactions for the received quotes, and generate the policy certificate as well as initiate claims and monitor claims payments in a few clicks.

With the platform, brokers can market Old Mutual’s Life Insurance policies, such as Group Life and Credit Life policies and other General Insurance Policies such as Motor, Fire, Burglary & Marine insurance policies.
