Through the technology platform, agents benefit from a fast, simple, and efficient way to provide commercial insurance to businesses, with a single point of entry to access top carriers for multiple types of policies.

CoverWallet CEO and co-founder Inaki Berenguer said: “Since launching our sleek and intuitive technology platform for small businesses, we have had countless requests from agents to work with CoverWallet.

“Today there are 40,000 insurance agencies in the U.S., and we are making it easy for agents to harness the power of data, design, and technology to serve more clients better and faster than ever before.”

CoverWallet for Agents leverages the award-winning CoverWallet platform and provides agents with instant quotes, online bindable policies, and real-time proof of coverage.

Through a dynamic online application that uses data and analytics, agents instantly receive quotes from top carriers for lines of business including General Liability, Business Owners Policy, Workers Compensation, and Professional Liability. The platform is currently integrated with top national carriers including Chubb, Starr, CNA, and AmTrust.

CoverWallet has more than quadrupled its business in the past year and has tens of thousands of customers. According to CB Insights, the small business insurance market is valued at $100 billion. With the launch of CoverWallet for Agents, the company increases its distribution to the millions of businesses that buy insurance through insurance agents.

CoverWallet product vice president Aman Khaira said: “We were able to launch CoverWallet for Agents re-using the advanced technology that we built from the ground up for our small business platform.

“Agents are an integral part of small business insurance, and we are making it easy for them to leverage technology without needing to build their own complex integrations or to have direct relationships or appointments with carriers.”

Prior to publicly launching the platform, CoverWallet conducted a pilot program.

WHINS Insurance Agency founder and pilot program member Joel Wagner said: “Being able to quickly get quotes for multiple carriers with competitive premiums is a huge advantage in today’s fast-paced, consumer-driven marketplace.

“CoverWallet’s platform is amazingly easy, and we encourage other independent brokers to take advantage of their unique system.”

Denver Insurance’s Sheri Bongers said: “CoverWallet for Agents is user friendly and has been quickly incorporated into my routine. The application is fast, generating immediate quotes. It’s easy to update, bind, and sign, and payment is done electronically.”

In addition to helping small businesses obtain coverage, agents also benefit from:

Financing integrated at checkout with a click of a button for customers who prefer to pay annual insurance over time, with multiple forms of accepted payments including credit cards, debit cards, or bank accounts

A dynamic and searchable online appetite guide that indicates how likely an account is to get an instant quote based on its location and class of business

Automated risk analysis, benchmarking, and data analytics to see what coverage will cost and the policies businesses in a specific industry typically purchase

A simple document management system and instant online generation of certificates of insurance

Automation for adding additional insureds to policies

Predictive analytics for coverage recommendations, as well as peer risk comparisons and claims support

With the launch of the new platform, Michael Konialian has been promoted to Vice President and General Manager of CoverWallet for Agents.
