TUCSON, Ariz. — This year the pandemic has shown us how fragile life can be and how circumstances can change in an instant. As of now about 46 percent of Americans are uninsured and many don’t have enough coverage, according to research association LIMRA. LIMRA also reports nearly 1 in 3 families said they would face financial challenges within one month if the primary earner in their family died. That rate was before the pandemic. “I believe that there are triggers in our life. And so the pandemic, yes, has led folks to almost look at the terms and the possibility of needing life insurance. Even though it's always there. The biggest reason that you need life insurance is twofold,” said...

Munich Re Expert: What to Expect in Pandemic Insurance. Dr. Gunther Kraut, head of Epidemic Risk Solutions at Munich Re, discusses the current state of the pandemic insurance market and what can be expected for the future. He says one of the challenges of developing this market, aside from managing accumulation risk, has been the education process required by the potential insured.

A while ago, we were having a team discussion to understand customer pain-points while digitizing the buying process for an insurance product. One of the participants suggested that we scan the filled hard copy of the proposal form, and save in our system. This will make the digitization process complete since all documents will be accessible online. I cringed then because maintaining soft copies falls far short of true digitization. However, this incident does describe the inadequate state of technology adoption in insurance and the prevailing mindset. Recent steps taken by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDAI) of allowing life insurers to accept a digital proposal and...

What is single life insurance? A single life insurance policy covers one person only and pays out the chosen amount of cover if that person dies during the length of the policy. If a couple holds two single policies and one partner dies, then the surviving partner still has their own policy. What is joint life insurance? A 'joint' life insurance policy covers two lives, which sounds obvious but it’s important to note that the cover usually operates on a 'first death' basis. This means the chosen amount of cover is paid out if the first person dies, during the length of the policy, after which the policy would end. This is a key point about joint life insurance: the policy pays out only once...
