Life IO

Our insurance coverage has consistently pointed out that traditional insurance carriers have a customer experience (CX) problem. The industry faces a multitude of challenges, central among them being the fact that customers don’t feel connected to their carriers, have low brand loyalty, and, in effect, have created a highly competitive landscape. Meanwhile, insurtechs are continually entering the market with new products and services that intrinsically place CX at the heart of their strategies. Life.io, a New Jersey-based insurtech, is focusing all its efforts on helping life and annuity carriers on this challenging but much-needed journey toward better CX.
