PROJECT SUMMARY

What was the project about?

Due to the increasing competitiveness of its offers in the bancassurance market, Santander wanted to develop a dedicated system for comparing motor insurance for bank customers operating as part of the customer’s online account in the bank insurance model. The bank desired to offer insurance for clients from various insurance companies cooperating with the bank.  

An essential part of the solution was the quick valuation of insurance offers based on integration with insurers’ tariff engines through a unified API, which demanded a combined integration with the Eurotax vehicle valuation system.

OUR SOLUTION

What have we done?

Implementation of a dedicated solution, including sales fronts to choose the appropriate insurance variant for the bank’s customers, ensuring integration with the banking system and the systems of insurance companies.

The entire solution was embedded in the internet electronic banking application and provided fast internet payments integrated with the client’s bank account. The integration with the insurers’ systems was performed using a standardized API to exchange information with each of the insurers was the same. To accelerate and streamline the entire process, the solution integrates with the Eurotax system, which performs market valuation of the vehicle designated for insurance. The solution allows the customer to choose the right package depending on the price and quality of services, returning offers from several market-leading insurance companies.

The system was built in microservice architecture using the DDD approach. In addition to the sales process, it handles the synchronization of data from insurance companies to the module base with policy renewals. It enables the online method of reporting claims and initiating policy changes.
