"The insurance industry is still in its infancy with regards to digitisation": Interview with Getsafes CEO, Christian Wiens
Summary
As a serial entrepreneur and having been named one of this year’s top financial tech CEO’s he knows a thing or two about disruptive innovation and is using his experience to guide the Getsafe team who are now serving over 175,000 customers. Although more and more insurers are working on the option of an online policy or an app, it’s almost always a half-hearted attempt to make paper based products a bit more digital. Getsafe, on the other hand, fully meets the expectations of the younger generation, who are used to being able to access information and services anywhere and at any time of day at the push of a button. Furthermore, they lack the IT infrastructure that works on the global level, because they carry a lot of dead weight within their old, incompatible systems. Europeans aged between 20-35 years old now represent one of the largest demographics and will buy an astonishing one billion new insurance policies by 2030.
