What Is InsurTech?

InsurTech (insurance technology) refers to companies and platforms using technology to make insurance faster, cheaper, and more personalised. Unlike traditional insurers, InsurTech firms are built around data, using AI to assess risk in real time, telematics to price car insurance by driving behaviour, and APIs to embed coverage directly into other products at the point of sale.

The sector spans four broad areas: distribution (digital-first brokers and comparison platforms), underwriting (AI and data-driven risk models), claims (automation, photo AI, instant payouts), and embedded insurance (coverage bundled into non-insurance products like travel bookings or e-commerce checkouts).

Investor interest has swung sharply in recent years, and Q2 2026 brought a four-year high in Insurtech Funding News, with AI-focused deals leading the way. Regular AI in Insurance News and Embedded Insurance News help show where that capital is heading next.

InsurTech News Online: FAQ

What is InsurTech?

InsurTech refers to technology-driven companies and platforms that are transforming how insurance products are built, priced, distributed, and serviced, using AI, machine learning, and API integrations to replace legacy processes.

How is AI used in InsurTech?

AI is applied across the insurance value chain: automating underwriting decisions, detecting fraud in claims, pricing policies using real-time behavioural data, and handling customer service through conversational AI tools. Follow our AI in Insurance News for the latest examples.

What is embedded insurance?

Embedded insurance means insurance coverage is offered at the point of sale of another product. For example, a travel insurer offering flight delay cover at checkout, or a fintech app bundling account protection into a premium tier. Our Embedded Insurance News tracks how this model is growing.

Which InsurTech companies raised the most funding in 2026?

Q2 2026 saw InsurTech funding reach a four-year high, driven primarily by AI-focused megadeals. Fintech InShorts tracks major funding rounds as they are announced, so see our InsurTech funding coverage and Insurtech Funding News. One standout is Corgi, an AI-powered insurer that reached a $4 billion valuation after raising funds for the fourth time this year.

Is InsurTech regulated?

Yes. InsurTech firms are subject to insurance regulation in each jurisdiction they operate in, typically overseen by bodies such as the FCA in the UK, the NAIC in the US, and the IRDAI in India. RegTech compliance is an increasingly important cost centre for scaling InsurTechs.
