Leading software development company, HashCash Consultants, is set to make the cumbersome operations of the insurance sector significantly effortless with blockchain.
Insurance industry contributes nearly 40% GDP of the financial institutions, making for a crucial part of the financial services sector in the United States. It is also responsible for employing more than 2 million people. The paperwork generated by this industry is massive and involves numerous copies of the same reports to be individually distributed across a wide network. This is one of the primary problem areas that have made blockchain a favored technology for insurance companies.
A blockchain is a decentralized ledger that records economic transactions as well as data of any value. Information held on a blockchain is immutable and exists as a shared and continually reconciled database. The benefits of utilizing a network this way are numerous in the field of insurance, and can be broadly categorized into two divisions:
Short to medium-term benefits (2 - 5 years)
1. Use of automation – Blockchain implements smart contracts, which is especially relevant to processing parametric insurance claims. Since smart contracts are programmed to respond a certain way to a particular set of stimuli, it can be instrumented in disbursing payouts triggered by predetermined conditions.
2. Reduced processing time – Since the data is distributed across nodes in a blockchain network, relevant information is accessible to various players in the market. The blockchain database allows for real-time reconciliation to mitigate the chances of fraud and makes verification of data quick.
3. Provenance tracking of insurable assets – Data stored in a blockchain is immutable, easily accessible and validated by predetermined programmes. This makes tracing the origin of valuable assets such as diamonds easy in value chains.
Medium to long-term benefits (5 -10 years)
1. Development of P2P business models – The transparency, reliability, and scalability a blockchain infrastructure can bring business models like P2P insurance could open up many possibilities for startups.
2. Risk transparency - Blockchain could be used as a decentralized distributed ledger for sharing sources of data for enhanced risk assessment, pricing, and mitigation. Such an archive would be instrumental in developing novel ideas such as real-time adaptive pricing, on-demand insurance, and hybrid insurance products for the sharing economy.
