…the practice of insurers sharing and consuming
data and services to create more appealing
value propositions and new revenue streams.
These data and services are exchanged with third parties
within and beyond the insurance industry and are made
externally accessible by means of APIs. Where relevant,
customers authorize their service providers to make their
data accessible, in return for which they expect better,
more personalized services and experiences.

INSURANCE USE CASES
New forms of usage-based
cover e.g. short-term car
insurance, on-demand gadget
cover, cargo insurance
covering specific shipments.
Rolling SME contracts, with:
monthly premiums aligned to
risk and reflecting business
changes; dynamic limits and
excesses; regular
assessments to minimize
over/under insurance.
Harnessing open banking data
for greater customer insights
and personalized contact:
• Identifying new coverage
requirements (new family,
new cover limits following
purchase of high ticket items)
• Detecting renewals and
premiums with 3rd parties
• Suitable levels of
• excess based on affordability
Seamless digital distribution
partnerships with a wide
range of companies e.g.
PFMs, retailers, real estate,
automotive, affinity organizations.
Platforms aggregating
customer insurance holdings
and using a suite of insurance
and banking APIs to identify:
• Areas of over/under
insurance
• Appropriate excesses
and limits
• Cover better suited
to customer needs
• Better renewal quotes
Open data speeding up and
tailoring quotes e.g. land
registry, satellite imagery,
mobile phone number.
Transferable driver behavior
and usage data, combined with
e.g. roads travelled, associated
accident rates, typical weather
conditions, for tailored pricing.
Partner APIs to identify
company specific, real-time
cyber risks, improving cyber
pricing, underwriting and
risk mitigation.
Opening access to proprietary
risk and pricing models e.g.
mortality risk scoring.
Satellite / sensor technology
providing real-time risk
management alerts based on
e.g. flood / rainfall.
Policy service / administration
requests seamlessly
handled through 3rd
party digital channels.
Administration plug-in:
Reducing market inefficiency
and duplication of effort in
commercial insurance (e.g.
KYC/AML checks).
Parametric travel policies that
instantly pay compensation
when a flight is delayed for
more than two hours.
Telematics or OEM data
providing FNOL and instant
accident reconstruction data.
Automatic image-based
loss assessment and claims
payments with shared APIs
across ecosystem.
Monetizing proprietary
databases (e.g. car parts) and
labor costs (e.g. healthcare
treatment costs).

OPEN INSURANCE:
THE STATE OF PLAY
Without the regulatory impetus driving
banking to open up, insurance carriers are taking
only tentative steps into open insurance.

Insurance APIs are dwarfed by those in other FS sectors, but growth is picking up.
Legacy systems are ill-
equipped to handle multiple
partnerships and ecosystems,
let alone personalized interactions
and flexible propositions.

other sectors in Accenture’s
Ecosystem Capability Index,
especially in the areas of talent,
culture, strategy and innovation.
WHAT’S HOLDING
OPENINSURANCE BACK?
The realities of implementation and concerns
around the implications of open architecture
are hampering its development:
Insurers and
consumers are uneasy
about sharing data.

FOR INSURERS AND

Open insurance could transform

insurance, the potential rewards
are great.
It ensures new revenue
streams, increased customer
engagement, and continued
market relevance
Adoption laggards risk
