Technology specialist Kayna and AEGIS London are working to optimise the Lloyd’s managing agent’s Opal Underwriting platform. They are looking to make various insurances required by commercial lenders of their borrowers in the US, available to surplus lines brokers via the platform.

Calum Williams, digital development manager at AEGIS London, said: “Our proposed collaboration with Kayna represents a new and innovative opportunity to expand our specialist product portfolio.

“We immediately recognised the potential to benefit the entire value-chain with commercial property insurance solutions that utilise loan platform data to generate cover options specific to client needs through authorised surplus lines brokers.”
