Surer has partnered with Zurich Insurance to provide faster and easier access to its Marine Cargo product.

Surer today announced a partnership with one of Singapore’s leading insurers, Zurich Insurance Company Ltd. (“Zurich”), which allows Surer brokers and resellers to access Zurich’s fully digital, high-speed offering of Swift Marine Cargo.

The integration of Zurich’s digital offering allows Surer’s brokers and resellers to more seamlessly and easily manage their customers’ ocean freight requirements. Operators can now instantly receive quotes; link skins and issue certificates or policies directly through the Surer platform.

“Along with maid insurance and auto insurance, Marine Cargo is an insurance product that ranks among the top three products in terms of transaction volume on the Surer platform. Thus, we were looking for a partner and integration with an insurance company with best-in-class underwriting and technical capabilities specific to Marine Cargo.” said Derren Theo, co-founder of Surer.

“Zurich is the ideal insurance company to partner with, given the company’s experience, technical agility and, more importantly, shared vision to help insurance brokers and resellers manage their businesses more effectively with technology.

“We are extremely excited about the potential of this partnership for resellers and their clients when it comes to improving the efficiency of business placement, quote search, linking and policy issuance,” Derren said.

Harry Taylor, Chief of Naval Services in Zurich, Singapore, agreed: “Zurich Swift Marine Cargo is a simple and secure online platform designed to enable insurance intermediaries to better manage their cargo insurance claims anytime, anywhere. We are excited to deepen our partnership with Surer to support their clients with market-leading services and a fantastic user experience, and in fact, fulfill our shared commitment to make the maritime business more efficient for more insurance brokers and resellers.”

The Zurich-Surer partnership will also allow the two companies to work together on other fast flow product lines.

The first group of intermediaries to gain access to Zurich’s Marine Cargo product through Surer will be consultants and planners from leading independent financial advisory firm PromiseLand. More information is available through Surer.
