Business model
PROCESSING OF NEW POLICIES. Revenue from automated processing of policies created ad hoc for BC4NB ecosystem (underwriting, payment collection, claiming process, claim payment)
In the future: POLICY SELLING FEE. Fees from policies sold through BC4NB ecosystem (digital wallets connected) PROCESSING OF EXISTING POLICIES Revenue from automated processing of policies that are being sold yet by insurers (underwriting, payment collection, claiming process, claim payment)
Money will be spent on
Tech development Marketing Launching new projects (grow in Second Market)
Derived from the innovation that implies the implementation of technology throughout the digital process, from the sale, underwriting & compliance, payment and claim process, the regulatory areas of insurers present some resistance at the beginning due to the complexity involved in making the changes to your legal, technology and compliance processes, among others.
