What is Bestow, exactly?

Answers to the top questions we get asked by carriers.

What does Bestow do?

We de-risk carrier modernization efficiently, impactfully, and at less cost than an in-house build. Specifically, we provide e-app and e-quote technology, a customizable underwriting engine and workbench, simple payments and billing solutions, streamlined policy delivery and admin, and intuitive portals for agents, underwriters and policyholders. Carriers can implement the entire platform or seamlessly integrate parts of it with their legacy systems.

Who is Bestow for?
  • Carriers looking to modernize parts or all of their business.
  • Carriers looking for more efficiency in their underwriting.
  • Carriers looking for easily-adoptable agent solutions.

If you’re working in acquisition or administration at a carrier, probably you!

What are the primary benefits of choosing Bestow?
  • Expedite growth by streamlining the purchase funnel and eliminating roadblocks.
  • Reduce acquisition costs by as much as 24% (based on third-party competitive analysis).
  • Unlock new audiences by meeting the modern customer where they are shopping - online.
  • Implement rapidly with white-labeled Bestow tech, going live in as little as 4 months.
  • Innovate efficiently with product changes in weeks and pricing changes in days.
Will I still have control over my underwriting decisions and risk tolerances?

Yes. You make all the rules, set all pricing, and retain all of your own branding from quote to admin.
