In a seed fundraising round headed by FinTech Collective, Diesta, an InsurTech business focusing on modernizing insurance payment procedures, raised $3.8 million.
Diesta will be able to expand its platform and keep changing the way insurance firms manage B2B premium payments thanks to the additional funding.
Diesta's current investors and Commerce Ventures both committed to the round, indicating their ongoing faith in the company's goals and ability to completely transform the insurance payment market.
With Diesta's platform, insurance businesses can automate routine operations, manage premium payments, and receive insights into payment data all in one place.
The goal of this invention is to assist insurers in lowering operating expenses, increasing productivity, and opening up new income sources.
With the goal of digitizing the whole payment cycle and lowering the number of touchpoints, the business intends to utilize the investment to further its payment technology.
In order to increase industry efficiency, Diesta plans to keep collaborating with a wide spectrum of insurance providers, from major brokers and MGAs in the London market to smaller InsurTechs.
"Our recent funding from FinTech Collective, Commerce VC, and existing investors underscores the fast growing focus on B2B insurance payments," stated Julian Schoemig, co-founder and CEO. Insurance presently uses antiquated infrastructure to transport each first premium payment seven times, underscoring the enormous potential for digitization. We are eager to establish a connection between state-of-the-art payment technology and the business insurance sector with the help of our new fintech partners.
We're tackling premium payments, one of the largest back-office issues facing the insurance sector. We've demonstrated our ability to innovate digital payments in a field that was previously thought to be intractable. We have experience working with a wide range of companies, from agile InsurTechs to some of the biggest brokers and MGAs in the London market, therefore we are certain that the Diesta platform can benefit organizations of all sizes tremendously. Schoemig went on, "We are overjoyed to have the support of such well-known investors as partners in our growth path.
"The status quo surrounding payment processing in the insurance industry is stuck in the 20th century and cannot last," stated Toby Triebel, a partner at FinTech Collective.
We are thrilled to support the Diesta team in their endeavor to completely rethink this sector. Since the initial encounter, their goal of providing real-time payments, reconciliation, and treasury management while eliminating premium processing time and expenses has struck a deep chord with us.
