From our experience in the fintech market, most insurance companies do not seem to be fully aware of their potential in Open Banking. Most of them are still not using the opportunities coming from accessing customer bank statements to their fullest extent. Therefore, we think there is plenty of space to develop innovative solutions in the insurance market, all driven by PSD2 and Open Banking. finleap connect is able to fulfill the insurance market needs with 3 distinctive offerings.

Dieses Potenzial schöpfen bislang die wenigsten Versicherungen voll aus. Hier kommen finleap connects Lösungen, speziell zugeschnitten auf die Bedürfnisse der Versicherungen, ins Spiel.
finleap connect was founded in September 2019. And since the new finleap connect team consists of more than 170 ‘connectors’, spread over five offices across Europe, an offsite was organized to allow everyone to get to know each other and to unite as one new company. Hamburg, the beautiful city in Northern Germany was chosen as the location for the big get-together.
