Educating Nigerians on how to get insured and making it easy to access is one of the reasons we started UNYTE”.

This has been a result of multiple factors: the bureaucracy of car registration by traditional agents, the lack of automation in the sector, the inadequate human resources for providing insurance services and the lack of understanding of insurance and its importance in the daily lives of the country’s population. To address these issues, UNYTE has developed an interoperable infrastructure connected to a host of leading insurance providers and other agencies to provide insurance services along with vehicle registration services for individuals and APIs for FinTechs to distribute insurance products to its customers and process claims with ease.”
