Our take
Putting the correct pricing on insurance has always been a challenge for insurers. Pricing too low can decimate profits, but pricing too high is a sure-fire way to drive off customers. Despite this importance of pricing, it has generally remained a human task, and therefore prone to errors and biases.
AKUR8 wants to change this, delivering an AI-based solution that automates pricing modelling for insurers, while maintaining the transparency and control required by regulators. By leveraging machine learning, the platform enhances insurers’ pricing processes, reducing modelling time whilst increasing predictive power.
Recently, AKUR8 has expanded its platform with Rate Repo and Deploy, providing a unified, end-to-end actuarial workflow from model creation to live deployment, and with AKUR8 Discover, integrating AI-driven market and regulatory intelligence from AMatrisk. These tools give insurers a single source of truth for pricing, faster operational deployment, and actionable insights from unstructured filing and competitive data.
Alongside this, the company is backed by some serious funding and a global expansion strategy. And now empowers insurers like AZA, Generalis, cementing its position as a next-generation, end-to-end actuarial platform.
