Send in the news – MGAs need to go bionic to compete

The MGA market is dynamic.

Insurers are fast recognising the benefit of partnering with these nimble commercial insurance specialists to expand their distribution, and brokers appreciate the speed, efficiency and technical expertise of their MGA partners.

In this exclusive interview with Intelligent Insurer, Ben Huckel explains how innovative platforms such as an Underwriting Workbench, the use of artificial intelligence, and automation can supercharge MGA businesses, giving them greater operational resilience, and streamlined processes that help them to make an impact.
