Munich Re, Spanish insurer Reale partner on automated underwriting solution
Reale Vida, the Reale Group’s Spanish insurer, has partnered with Munich Re to implement automated underwriting across its life insurance operations in Spain.

The partnership is a significant milestone after the Reale Group in Spain resumed its insurance activity in the Life branch in 2010 creating Reale Vida y Pensiones, whose business focus is to provide a global offer for both Clients and Intermediaries.

The solution, which is based on Munich Re’s world-leading ALLFINANZ Spark digital new business technology and takes advantage of both the reinsurer’s global life insurance underwriting wisdom and its deep knowledge of the nuances of the Spanish market, will be executed across all sales channels throughout Reale’s business globally. This will lead to an innovative insurance underwriting process, which will significantly improve the experience of Reale’s clients’ and partners.
