Beazley launches digital trading division

Specialist insurer Beazley has announced that its digital trading division, Beazley Digital, is now up and running. The new division brings together underwriting, claims, technology and operational experts into a cross-functional team to deliver digital access and services to a range of high-volume, low-premium products for the company’s broking partners.

“With technology playing an increasingly important role in facilitating insurance placement and portfolio management, we can now offer access to the digital distribution channels our broking partners want to use – portals, APIs, market hubs and email – supported by the human experience and interaction that our brokers value so highly,” said Ian Fantozzi (pictured above), CEO of Beazley Digital. “We are not looking to simply digitize legacy systems and continue traditional line-led underwriting. Instead, we have organized the team so that we can offer one Beazley point of contact to access multiple lines and digital services via a selection of digital channels.”
