Our take
Ki is an insurance provider looking to revolutionise the commercial insurance sector. It is entirely digital driven by algorithms, setting risk parameters and managing claims and exposure. It offers instant, on-demand access for users and clients, designed specifically with brokers in mind to evaluate policies and quotes using a platform optimised for efficiency and responsiveness. As part of this, Ki promises to follow leader's terms and always offers an instant line.
Ki is a Lloyd's of London syndicate for providing capital and accepting insurance risks, and was built as a collaboration between Google and specialised insurer Brit. It claims to offer the fastest route for brokers to receive a quote for their clients on the Lloyd's market.
Now the company is closing out a big chapter with a bold step forward. After separating from Brit, Ki is now ready to operate as its own company within the Fairfax Group and it has also teamed up with QBE to boost capacity across 11 major business lines, so brokers have even more access to quality cover through its digital platform.
