Gugu Mfuphi talking to Ernest North, Co-Founder At Naked Insurance about Naked, South Africa’s first end-to-end artificial intelligence-driven insurance platform, is building on its significant success in car insurance by bringing its next-generation insurance to the home insurance market. Customers can now get comprehensive, instant, and hassle-free cover for their home and the things they own through Naked’s completely automated digital process.

Naked offers customers a comprehensive set of short-term personal insurance products that are built on new generation technology and a fairer business model. In April 2018, Naked launched an award-winning* car insurance offering that uses automation to offer significant premium savings and higher levels of customer control over the insurance experience.

Naked’s comprehensive product range now includes home cover (building insurance up to R10 million) and contents insurance (up to R2.5 million). The new offerings leverage Naked’s completely automated, front-office to back-office, processes to enable consumers to purchase cover through the mobile app within seconds.
