InsTech - insurance & innovation with Matthew Grant & Robin Merttens

Simon Lewis & Matt Greaves: Atrium Underwriters: Underwriting and innovation where it counts (159)


Listen Later

Atrium Underwriters has been operating in the London market for almost 100 years and has established itself as one of the most forward-thinking insurers when it comes to innovation and new technology.

Underwriters Simon Lewis and Matt Greaves join Matthew on Podcast 159 to discuss where that drive for innovation comes from.

The conversation covers how Atrium assesses ideas and products for new opportunities like crypto, using technology to speed up claims and reduce costs, and how it supports start-ups through the Lloyd’s Lab and Product Innovation Facility (PIF) at Lloyds. 

Talking points include:

  • Aligning innovation with day-to-day underwriting
  • Building an innovation culture
  • Assessing viability and accepting “fast fails”
  • Using natural language processing (NLP) to review claims
  • Collating location data for catastrophe risk underwriting
  • If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use, or contact Matthew Grant on LinkedIn.
