Association of Kenya Insurers (AKI) has announced that the Integrated Motor Insurance Database System portal, meant to curb rampant fraud, is set to start running by January.
Service provider SwiftAnt IT Solutions PVT has met all AKI members to lay out plans on how to integrate the platform to individual systems.
According to AKI, the system will provide members with a portal where they can verify the validity of information provided by customers.
Underwriters will be able to verify the underwriting and claims history of an insured motorist as well as receive alerts on various fraud indicators.
AKI executive director Tom Gichuhi, Monday, said 12 companies had connected to the system and were submitting data with the association.
“By the end of January 2018, the system should be fully operational, and of course there may be some teething problems. We intend to fix them as we move along,” Mr Gichuhi is quoted by Nation.
