Vernam: Blockchain Powered Zero Commission Insurance Provider

vernam

The use of blockchain in the insurance sector has been one of the major areas of interest as it has the potential to streamline the entire process, starting from buying a policy, to investigating incidents and fulfilling the claims. With the involvement of agents, middlemen and other third-party players, the sector currently lacks transparency.

Vernam, a decentralized peer-to-peer insurance platform is striving to overcome the shortcomings of the present-day insurance market by creating the world’s first zero-commission insurance on the blockchain. The platform eliminates the involvement of brokers to provide a cost-efficient, data-driven, and transparent solution which could potentially bring savings of up to 30% on insurance premiums for customers.

In the past few years, the $4.57 trillion (2016 data) insurance industry has exhibited an average steady growth of about 3%, driven by rising demand for policies among individuals and businesses alike. However, its full potential is not tapped, thanks to the lack of transparency, corrupt and inept brokers and the prevalent culture bent on fleecing the insured. With the rising mobile phone density, developments in Artificial Intelligence and smart contract driven P2P technologies like blockchain, insurance companies can now directly deal with their customers while automating a significant portion of industry functions.

Purchasing Insurance, the Vernam Way

Vernam is in the vanguard of redefining the way people access insurance. The platform is keen to connect insurers directly with the people who would like to be insured. In the process, it eliminates the need for middlemen and their commissions. These savings, amounting up to 30% of the costs can then be passed on to customers in the form of cashbacks. Vernam is driven by its own Vernam Tokens (VRN), which acts as the preferred mode of payment on the platform. Customers who purchase insurance on the platform will receive cashbacks in the form on VRN, which can be later exchanged to fiat or used for VRN denominated purchases.

More Game-changing Products for the Insurance Sector

Vernam is keeping up with the evolving technology landscape and changing customer needs. The platform plans to introduce an insurance product that allows users to insure their crypto-assets over smart contracts. The product, to be called CryptoSafe will help cryptocurrency users mitigate their risk against specific losses.

Speaking during an investor briefing, the CEO and Co-Founder Roman Angelov of Vernam said,

“We are convinced that our product offering will benefit both insurance players and the consumers. There are lots of opportunities that both can leverage on. For the industry players, we are moving towards an industry that is shifting from intuition-based policy pricing to one that is based on data. Blockchain technology will allow the players to offer insurance products and assessment on an individual capacity thereby minimizing risk and increasing efficiency.”
