Aon and Chubb roll out new digital insurance platform for SMEs

Global re/insurance broker Aon has partnered with property/casualty insurer Chubb to launch a new digital platform in France for small and medium-sized businesses.

The collaboration intends to provide small businesses with an efficient way to understand coverage options and buy insurance online.

The new platform is powered by insurtech CoverWallet, which combines data science, user experience design and analytics to make insurance buying easier and faster. CoverWallet was acquired by Aon in January 2020.

"By bringing together Aon's insurance expertise, Chubb's insurance products, and CoverWallet's technology and operating model, we have created a unique offering that delivers the best of all worlds for small businesses," said Elena Gonzalez-Blanco, general manager of Europe at CoverWallet.

Antoine Lamy-Rested, chief commercial officer of Aon France, added: "Simplifying the insurance journey and helping our clients focus on their core business is at the heart of our mission with this new offering, which is a major step ahead for small and medium-sized businesses.

"By leveraging our internal digital strengths and our expertise in Commercial Risk, we offer our clients quick and easy access to high-performance insurance products that meet their needs."

Santiago Sanchez, Chubb's head of digital, Europe commented: "We are proud to launch this platform in France. Diversifying our distribution channels is a core component of our digital ambition. The combination of our product range, underwriting expertise, claims service and our ability to quickly integrate our offerings ideally positions Chubb to meet the needs of small commercial enterprises in France through this collaboration with Aon and CoverWallet."
