D&O specialist MGA Rising Edge partners with insurtech

MGA Rising Edge and insurtech mea have formed a partnership that sees the MGA deploying mea ingestion, a digital processing platform, to automate submissions intake.

“We are impressed by the ability of the mea platform to accelerate our submissions processing through their ready to use solution” said Philippe Gouraud, Rising Edge’s CEO. “This is enhancing our proprietary digital operating platform. By further digitalising the underwriting information chain, we are able to further accelerate delivering our quotes to our brokers, in a very agile and efficient way.  This is a significant step in our tech & data strategy.”

Rising Edge said the partnership will strengthen its position as a global digital MGA and allow it to accelerate their business and drive efficiencies with streamlined submissions processing, removing the need for underwriters and underwriting assistants to manually input submissions.

Martin Henley, CEO at mea, said: “Our technology has been designed specifically for the insurance industry, helping solve the underlying industry problem with productivity. In a high-profile industry such as D&O insurance, ensuring that submissions are accurately and quickly processed is crucial. Currently, manual processes are holding the industry back. By utilising our platform and technological expertise, Rising Edge will free up valuable time and be able to focus on building their business.”

“We liked that there was little project effort to start using the mea solution, as it worked instantly. The team have worked together brilliantly to implement this solution which is helping our business to go from strength to strength” added Miles Murphy, Rising Edge COO and finance director.

Rising Edge is a London-based MGA that specialises in D&O insurance aimed at serving wholesale London Market and European brokers.
