Here’s the latest from Ondo Insurtech in the USA, with news as regards to the Nationwide partnership;
On 14 November 2023 Ondo announced a new partnership with Fortune 100 insurance and financial services company Nationwide to offer the LeakBot device to U.S. homeowners insurance customers as part of the insurer’s Smart Home Program. The first deliveries of devices have started in Cincinnati, Ohio and St. Louis, Missouri. Nationwide “auto-shipped” LeakBots (meaning sending devices directly to customers, unsolicited). Despite the distribution being unsolicited the installation rate is over 70%, significantly ahead of expectations.
Nationwide expects to deploy the remainder of the first 6,000-unit order in the next few weeks, primarily in Ohio. Ondo and Nationwide are now considering which states to expand into next in the coming months of 2024.
Sarah Jacobs, Vice President of Personal Lines Product Development at Nationwide said: “We have been pleased with the install rates in Ohio, and we are exploring which states we can expand to next. The team at Ondo have been a great partner so far. At Nationwide we really believe our Smart Home Program will be a key differentiator in homeowners insurance and LeakBot fits perfectly with our strategy”.
Craig Foster, CEO said: “We are thrilled that the first Nationwide deployments have gone well, and we are now in homes repairing leaks and preventing claims. Nationwide is a key partnership for us in the United States and we are excited to keep exceeding expectations.”
