We can be a central integration point for a business to be able to offer any types of insurance products in any of the markets where they’re doing business.”Working across a broad spectrum of sectors and with some of the world’s best known brands – including Booking.com, Ryanair, Intuit, eBay, Wayfair and Amazon, Darcy outlines the advantages Cover Genius offers to customers, clients and capacity providers, as well as their approach to using anonymised data from partners.
