Fintech is making an impact on all financial sectors throughout the world, including the insurance sectors. In order to understand how this is possible, you need to make sure that you know what Fintech is. The short explanation is that it is any type of technology that improves how insurance is calculated, how it is offered, and how it is delivered.

That is the easiest way to explain it, so let us move on to the reason that you are reading this article. Let us go over a few ways that Fintech is revolutionizing the insurance sector.

1. Automation: The first, and possibly the most important, is automation. Every aspect of insurance has moved onto online platforms to accommodate the needs of society today. Since the pandemic blasted through the world it has been imperative to continue operating a business through the technology that has been made. The carriers now offer the ability to compare, review, file a claim, and even apply for new policies. From step one, to finalizing, the platform will use stored applications and will adjust according to each consumer, with the use of AI.
2. Security-The old school way of keeping files is on paper, in file cabinets. Once the internet came into play, the files could be transferred to online storage, allowing the paper copies to be destroyed since they were so easy to obtain information from. There are so many files across the industry though that the servers being used had to be stored in warehouses filled with similar databases. This allowed hackers to have easier access than they should be allowed. With the new Fintech applications coming available, you can store things on the chain of computers that have been linked together through Blockchain. This allows all people on the server to access the information but prevents hacking because each location must be changed, otherwise the changes can be seen from a different location. It makes security tight.
3. Personal Experience-Automation will help boost the personal experience dramatically, in a positive way. It will be the best way to shop for auto insurance because the platform can compare all the companies that they work with within a few seconds, offering you a list of the companies that offer what you want. It saves you time when compared to the old school way of getting a policy. When applying for the policy the steps that you need to take will be short and to the point. No more listening to your agent ramble on about their vacation. You can skip the agent and deal directly with the carrier. Which of course, saves you money. Saving money makes the customer experience high, even if it is only a few bucks.

The revolutionizing of the insurance sector is coming down to automation, ease of access, security, and open communication. It is becoming more common for all business transactions to be carried out on online platforms that are assisted by AI units. This may sound a lot like science fiction, but like it or not, the future is here. Soon, very soon, you will not be able to conduct any business face-to-face.

It has been stated by a few professional that insurance agents will be out of a job because they will no longer be needed. That is only true if the agent refuses to learn the new systems and be willing to take less commission off the top. One of the main reasons that insurance costs are up, besides the claims being filed, is the need to pay the commissions that the agents get as a middle person.

The bottom line is, though, that agents are always going to be an aspect of the insurance sector, no matter how advanced the platforms become. Which leaves the future open for any more technology that is implemented to continue revolutionizing the insurance industry.
