Our take
Changing insurance providers can be a confusing and time-consuming process, which is why many people end up sticking with policies that aren't quite right for them. Trellis was built to make this easier, offering a platform that lets users compare insurance options side-by-side. It also works with digital banks and financial platforms to present relevant insurance choices directly to customers.
Recently, Trellis was acquired by Gen Digital, the company behind brands like Norton and LifeLock. As part of the deal, Trellis' technology will be integrated into Gen's "Engine" platform, which helps users find financial products tailored to their needs. Meaning Trellis' tools will now reach a much larger audience and play a role in offering more personalized insurance recommendations.
The acquisition highlights a broader trend in finance, where services like insurance are increasingly built into the apps and platforms people already use. With Gen's scale behind it, Trellis is now in an even better position to grow and improve how customers discover and choose insurance products.
