“Leading insurers in Germany are already using our services. It is our declared goal to continuously develop our bancassurance services and at the same time integrate digital added value for insurers. The Handelsblatt Insurance Award shows us that we are on the right track. A great team result!” – says Jan Wichmann, co-founder of BANKSapi.
Dr. Ahmet Toker, Chief Data Scientist of BANKSapi adds: “Within a short period of time, we have succeeded in developing a data science platform that is highly modern and pragmatic. For example, our categorization process uses neuro-linguistic programming methods, which are also used by big tech companies. Clients of ours can tailor the models developed in this way for their end customers and combine them effortlessly with their own customer journeys. This transforms account data into a treasure trove of data similar to that previously only available to companies like Google, Amazon or Facebook.”
