Is this the future of motor insurance claims in the Gulf?

A new motor claims recovery platform has graduated from the regulatory sandbox of Bahrain Central Bank which aims to establish new financial technology (FinTech) solutions in the kingdom.

Braxtone Corporate Services, a subsidiary of Braxtone Group, has announced the launch of Tasweya which provides insurance companies with a secure market-wide centralised platform to manage documents and exchange payable and receivable motor claims against each other.

The announcement comes as over 700,000 motor insurance policies in Bahrain and insurance companies pay more than $175 million annually in insurance claim payments for motor accidents.

The insurance companies can update claims, track and approve outstanding claims and close settled claims with a click of a button.

Braxtone said this means that the B2B platform is faster and more efficient than manually processing claims, increasing productivity and cutting costs.

Braxtone added that it is looking to first test its platform in Bahrain and then roll it out to the Gulf region.
