- better look + feel
- better mobility
- better prices
- better account management

Insurance is considered one of the most antiquated financial industries — burdened by too many hands-on processes that should + could be automated, with sluggish performance from legacy software + out-dated computer systems.
But it’s finally experiencing a major renovation. Innovations from fin-tech are re-inventing insurance. 1000s of start-ups have launched contemporary products for every corner of a customer’s insurance needs. This new range within the insurance business is called “insure-tech.”
