The firms are working together to create new coverages and customer experiences for more engaged policyholder relationships.
Kin Insurance, an insurance technology company dedicated to simplifying home insurance in natural disaster-prone areas in the U.S., has partnered with Cinch Home Services (Boca Raton, Fla.) to provide home services solutions to the property/casualty insurance market.
“For most people, a home is their largest purchase, yet it doesn’t come with a manual on how to care for it. Like home insurance, home service plans are so essential to protect homeowners from unexpected events that occur every day, from an appliance breakdown to a system failure,” comments Steve Upshaw, CEO, Cinch. “As part of our commitment to serving the P&C insurance market, insurance partners are using Cinch to develop new coverages and customer experiences that result in deeper and more engaged relationships with their policyholders. Our new partnership with Kin combines home insurance and home services to create new models for modern home protection.”
