Israeli fintech Earnix has acquired the assets of AI-powered telematics provider Driveway Software to offer new usage-based insurance (UBI) and behavior-based insurance (BBI).
The financial value of the deal was not disclosed.
The acquired assets include a telematics app, which will be integrated as a core component within Earnix’s UBI/BBI offering.
Concurrently, Driveway’s team of domain experts will join Earnix.
Earnix stated that the new offering will allow auto insurers to manage the entire lifecycle for personalised telematics-based UBI/BBI through a mobile-centric engagement.
The fintech claims that its data-based insights will reduce time-to-market for new offers and enable insurers to offer bespoke solutions with accurate pricing.
