Accelerated Underwriting Programs

The combination of your experience data with our industry perspective will help maintain or enhance your competitive advantage.

Insurers today are pulled in many directions – having to embrace innovative underwriting tools and approaches while evolving away from full underwriting.

Many companies don’t have the time or resources to investigate all the latest data and technology options to see which is right for them. With so many new alternatives on the market and the fast-changing pace, it’s hard to know where to start. 

Gen Re can help.

Gen Re can provide a depth of knowledge to help you navigate your next underwriting transformation. We've partnered with companies at various stages of their AU program development.
