The Association of Kenya Professional Insurance Agents (AKPIA) has entered into a partnership with a digital firm in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic.
The partnership with mTek Services, a digital insurance broker, is aimed at promoting uptake of insurance in the face of the pandemic.
mTek Services chief executive officer Bente Krogmann said the deal will provide a digital platform which allows insurance agents to onboard clients, manage them and reconcile accounts digitally, going 100 percent paperless.
Insurance agents endorsed the app saying it would be useful at a time containment measures against Covid-19 have been enhanced.
