Get Your Insurance Fix on “The Insurance Couch” Podcast! Join Oliver Lang, former CEO of InsurTech Unicorn Wefox/One Insurance, supervisory board member and advisor and Nikolaus Sühr, Co-Founder and CEO of InsurTech enabler KASKO as they bring you unique insights from their experiences in the insurance world.
This episode they talk about the attack on cross subsidies:
- In many lines, there’s a trend towards more price differentiation using additional data we have on customers. Some business models focus purely on capturing profitable customer segments.
- There are 4 ways for incumbents to react to this trend which can be combined:
- Ignore and keep the way of cross-subsidy / solidarity that you’re used to.
- Discredit the loss in solidarity and act by not allowing customers who go for their maximum profit to profit from the community’s solidarity when they are in a weak position.
- Jump on the bandwagon and generate an additional line of tariffs / brand that captures the possibilities of stronger price differentiation while keeping the solidary part of the business alive.
- Go all in and change you pricing structure to include the new normal of stronger differentiation.
- Depending on the specific situation, your profitability targets and moral position you must chose between and potentially combine your options.
