The future of insurance payments will be heavily influenced by technology, changing customer preferences, and regulatory frameworks. Insurers will need to adapt to trends such as digital payments, blockchain technology, AI and machine learning, pay-as-you-go models, and a focus on data security. These trends will enable insurers to improve the customer experience, reduce costs, enhance transparency, and personalize products and pricing.
Points of discussion:
1. What challenges do payments pose across the insurance value chain? How is Mastercard placed to help and what approach are you taking with the industry?
2. What role does data have to play in the future of insurtech and can you throw some light on the trends you see here like for example in the case of parametric insurance?
3. Talking about parametric, who do you think will benefit from this type of insurance? What’s next for Mastercard in this space?
