Insurance, AI-Style: Iute Group's Game-Changing Collab with Allianz Partners and GrECo
In a bold move to revolutionize insurance services in the Balkan region, the nimble fintech company Iute Group partners with the insurance powerhouses Allianz Partners and GrECo. Their shared goal: delivering digital, day-to-day insurance solutions for Iute's targeted markets.
Kicking off the game-changing collaboration, Iute launched a cutting-edge digital insurance brokerage service in Albania back in February. The service lets customers seamlessly manage loan insurance, disability and health insurance, and claims handling – all from their smart devices.
As a crucial element of their service ecosystem, Allar Niinepuu, Iute Group's co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer, marks, "Insurance brokerage ain't just a side hustle for us. It's a central part of our strategy, and revenues have sky-rocketed, making it one of our key focus areas." The feedback from eager customers has been top-notch, and sales figures have exceeded all expectations.
Built on a solid alliance, the solution amalgamates diverse insurance products into a single, streamlined service: expect the traditional loan insurance, plus job loss protection, sweet discounts at private clinics, and the possibility of a second medical opinion for those tricky diagnoses or treatment plans. The insurance coverage is backed by Allianz Partners, with the technical wizardry developed by GrECo Affinity Solutions. All operations – policy activations, document management, and claim submissions – happen with the ease of a swipe within the Myiute mobile app, leaving paperwork a relic of the past.
In a March rendezvous in Tirana, the trio of Iute, Allianz Partners, and GrECo agreed to keep building insurance services across the region and set their sights on North Macedonia next. Niinepuu shared his thoughts, "Our joint product's success has laid a powerful foundation for deepening our collaboration and conjuring up new insurance solutions in other Balkan countries."
With the insurance brokerage business line on an exponential growth trajectory, Iute bagged twice the revenue from this sector in 2024 compared to the previous year, making it one of the company's driving forces.
