Embedded Insurance in Record Time

Intro
Banks and fintechs increasingly look to embedded insurance as a new revenue stream and a way to deepen customer relationships. But integrating insurance into existing digital channels can be slow and complex.
In this case, a leading bank used CLP Hub’s API-first architecture to embed insurance journeys directly into its mobile app — four times faster than with traditional PAS vendors.
Client and Context
Client: Tier-1 bank with a strong digital footprint
Channel: Mobile app and online banking
Goal: Offer insurance products as part of existing customer journeys (loans, cards, payments)
The bank needed a flexible backend that would integrate cleanly into its existing stack and still meet local regulatory requirements.
Challenges
The bank faced several hurdles:
1. Legacy bank systems not designed for insurance workflows
2. Traditional PAS solutions with long implementation cycles and limited API capabilities
3. Need to maintain a consistent UX inside the bank’s own app
4. Strict requirements for security, data protection and regulatory compliance
Time-to-market was critical — the bank wanted to go live within the same fiscal year.
Solution: API-First Integration with CLP Hub
The bank integrated CLP Hub as an insurance engine behind its digital channels.
Key elements:
Embedded Insurance API: ready endpoints for quotes, policy issuance, endorsements and payments
Product configuration in CLP Hub: auto and other retail products tailored to the bank’s segments
Sandbox environment: allowed the bank’s development team to test flows and edge cases in isolation
Secure data exchange: aligned with local regulatory and security standards
Within this setup, CLP Hub handled the insurance logic end-to-end, while the bank kept full control over the UX in its mobile and web apps.
Results
Time-to-market
1. Integration and rollout were completed 4× faster compared to initial estimates with traditional PAS vendors.
2. The first insurance journeys went live within weeks, not months.
Business outcomes
1. New commission revenue from insurance products sold through existing channels
2. Higher customer engagement and retention, as insurance became part of everyday banking
3. Ability to experiment with bundles (e.g. loan + insurance) without heavy IT projects
“CLP Hub allowed us to add insurance to our app like any other modern API service —
without disrupting our core banking systems.”
What’s Next
The bank is now:
1. Extending the product set (travel, device, lifestyle insurance)
2. Testing dynamic offers based on customer behavior and risk profiles
3. Exploring cross-border insurance propositions with partners
