Ki Insurance has partnered with QBE Insurance to expand broker insurance solutions by adding the firm as a capacity partner on its Lloyd’s-based digital follow platform.
The partnership aims to provide brokers with greater access to insurance capacity while simplifying the process of securing follow-form insurance.
By integrating QBE’s capacity into Ki’s digital platform, brokers can efficiently access and bind coverage from multiple providers, ensuring a seamless and expedited process.
Ki Insurance leverages advanced algorithms and a fully digital model to offer follow-form insurance solutions within the Lloyd’s market.
The platform streamlines the underwriting process, enabling brokers to obtain coverage from multiple capacity providers through a single digital interface.
QBE Insurance is a global insurance and reinsurance provider with significant market presence across London, the US, and international markets.
The firm offers a wide range of commercial insurance products and has built a strong reputation in the specialty insurance market. Partnering with Ki aligns with QBE’s broader commitment to leveraging digital capabilities to enhance underwriting and distribution efficiency.
From early February, QBE’s capacity will be accessible on Ki’s platform across eleven open market business classes. These include Cargo, Contingency, Cyber, D&O, Energy Midstream, Energy Upstream, Financial Institutions (FI), Hull, US Professional Indemnity (PI), Property North America 1 (NA), and Property Worldwide (WW).
The move marks the first time Ki will offer partner capacity for the Contingency class.
By working with multiple capacity providers, Ki ensures that brokers benefit from a diversified and scalable insurance offering, ultimately improving market efficiency and accessibility.
Mark Allan, CEO of Ki, said: “We are proud to launch our partnership with QBE by adding their capacity to the Ki platform. QBE is a highly respected business in the specialty insurance market, with significant scale across the London, US and International markets. Their enthusiasm to partner with Ki reinforces our shared vision regarding the importance of seamless digital trading for the future of the specialty insurance marketplace. We are also pleased to be expanding capacity with our existing partners. Offering brokers capacity from five syndicates is another positive step in Ki’s continued commitment to the London market and our mission to drive innovation and digitization within the insurance industry.”
Jason Harris, CEO at QBE International, added: “As the insurance market continues to evolve, we are pleased to be partnering with Ki and its digital offering. Digital follow is driving positive outcomes for the market, brokers and insureds by providing faster access to high quality capacity and more certainty of placement and complements traditional underwriting. We anticipate significant growth taking place over the next decade in this space and, as a market leader, look forward to collaborating with Ki to drive increased digitisation and efficiency throughout the entire risk journey.”
