Who's Magnum designed for?

Magnum's white-labeled platform is modular so insurers can tailor the underwriting automation that's right for them and continue to evolve as their underwriting increases in complexity and sophistication.

How does automated underwriting unfold?

Gathering and capturing risk information into the system - The customer is asked questions about their health or connects to 3rd party systems to access the information automatically. Depending on the responses provided, additional reflexive questions may be triggered to get a deeper understanding of the applicant's health profile.

Assessment of the captured information – in the underwriting automation tool executes various rules to assess the relevant areas of risk, i.e., impairments, sports, financial, family history, habits, non-medical limits etc. After running these rules, the tool issues a decision. The decision can range from accepting the risk to accepting with loadings or exclusions, declining the risk, asking for further evidence or referring the case to an underwriter.

Magnum was designed to facilitate both these steps. Magnum clients define what risk areas are underwritten as part of the Magnum solution configuration. Its data integration capabilities augment datasets so the system can better assess the risk, thus enhancing straight-through processing (STP) rates.

Magnum's applicant user-friendly and engaging interface displays only the questions that the applicant needs to answer. The rules engine drives the interview process and make an underwriting decision. By default, rules are defined following Swiss Re's underwriting manual Life Guide, the world's #1 life and health underwriting resource, but depending on the Magnum product being used the insurer can customize Magnum rules to their underwriting philosophy. Magnum capabilities can also be complemented by A.I. models and advanced analytics.
