Better insurance starts
with understanding.

We're building PolicySnap to help people get insurance right — and give insurers clearer information to work with.

Why we're here

A personal insurance experience brought our founders together around a simple question: what if people could spot the important details before a small mistake became a bigger problem?

PolicySnap brings together customer information, supporting documents and relevant data checks to help identify gaps, clarify answers and explain what matters before purchase.

We're developing this approach for insurers and MGAs. Our ambition is shared: more informed insurance decisions, fewer avoidable disputes and customers who understand their cover.

Building responsibly

FCA Innovation Pathways

PolicySnap was accepted into the Financial Conduct Authority's Innovation Pathways service in September 2026.

This gives us an opportunity to work with direct regulatory guidance during product development, as we explore how AI can help people understand and prepare their insurance information.

Acceptance into Innovation Pathways is not indicative of FCA authorisation or endorsement.
