Neil Sprackling, President and CEO of US Life and Health at Swiss Re, commented, “We are delighted to deepen our existing relationship with SBLI with the implementation of Underwriting Ease. Swiss Re’s mission is to make the world more resilient, and this partnership delivers on that through the development of innovative tools that enhance the underwriting experience for our clients.”

Brian O’Connell, Chief Underwriter at SBLI, added, “Swiss Re’s Underwriting Ease solution provides a powerful, data-driven approach that streamlines risk assessment and accelerates decision-making.

“By summarising key aspects of risks in a user-friendly interface, it empowers underwriters to make faster, more informed decisions—going beyond mere automation to truly enhance the underwriting process. This solution not only saves time but also ensures a more accurate, consistent approach to managing risk, which is crucial in today’s fast-paced insurance landscape.”

Nanditha Nandy, Head of data-driven underwriting solutions at Swiss Re, noted, “Providing a holistic risk picture view has helped optimize manual underwriting efforts by upwards of 50%. We are excited for our valued partners to unlock the full potential of underwriting data.”
