The New Wave of Embedded Protection: Beyond Traditional Insurance

Embedded Protection: The Evolution of Insurance for Modern Platforms

Embedded Protection: The Evolution of Insurance for Modern Platforms

In today’s experience-driven economy, users aren’t just buying products — they’re buying confidence.

At the same time, platforms themselves are increasingly looking for ways to protect their operations, revenue streams, and brand trust. Whether it’s a loan that goes unpaid, a canceled event, or a delayed delivery, platforms bear real financial and reputational risk when things go wrong.

That’s why embedded protection is becoming a must-have feature across digital services. It's not about selling traditional insurance. It's about offering seamless, built-in protection — both for users and for the platforms that serve them — all without the burden of regulation or operational complexity.

Why embedded protection is gaining momentum

  • Reduce friction in the customer experience
  • Add value at critical touchpoints (checkout, onboarding, delivery)
  • Mitigate operational risks (defaults, delays, cancellations)
  • Create new revenue streams with optional coverage add-ons

Embedded protection solves this with a model that’s parametric, automated, and easily integrated into any product or service flow.

  • Optional white-labeling so protection is part of your brand experience

Key Use Case: Credit Protection

📌 Credit Protection (Flagship Product)

Problem: In B2B marketplaces and credit platforms, unpaid invoices directly impact platform cash flow, credit rotation, and operational continuity.

Solution: Our Credit Protection solution compensates your platform in the case of a default — allowing you to continue operating, lending, or serving customers without absorbing the full financial hit.

Example: A platform connecting wholesalers and corner stores offers 30-day terms. If a store fails to pay after the grace period, Credit Protection triggers an automatic payout. No paperwork. No collections. Just continuity.

Best for:

  • Fintechs with credit or BNPL models
  • B2B marketplaces with supplier financing
  • Agricultural input platforms
  • SaaS or service businesses offering invoice-based payments
