On a global level, bolttech’s insurance exchange revolves around 800 distribution partners with over 200 insurance providers to offer more than 6,000 product variations.

Speaking on the latest development, Rob Schimek, bolttech’s Group Chief Executive Officer, mentioned that connecting with a lead investor, like Tokio Marine that holds high calibre and esteem, will aid the firm to grow further.

As per Rob, this evidence solidifies international investors’ belief in the resilience of the company’s business model, its role in transforming the future of insurance distribution and its long-term value proposition.

Rob said that Tokio Marine would prove to be a key strategic partner as the firm continues to drive its growth strategy and global expansion.

For the unversed, bolttech, one of the well-recognized embedded insurance providers, is a global B2B2C insurtech that uses its revolutionary insurance exchange to link insurers with distributors and their customers.

With licences to operate in more than 30 markets throughout Asia and Europe, as well as all 50 U.S. states, boltech’s platform offers businesses inside and outside the insurance industry everything required to offer insurance products for the evolving needs of the digital age consumers.
