Urban Jungle launches industry first partnership programme and API to become the insurance partner for the open banking era

London based Urban Jungle, a FinTech startup revamping home insurance has launched a partnership programme and API to help renters and sharers access their products more easily.

CEO Jimmy Williams said

“We want it to be as easy as possible for people to get their home insurance sorted at exactly the time they need it, and we’re looking forward to working with a number of like-minded companies who want to broaden their customer offering.

We think the future of financial services will be an open one, where products are offered ‘in-context’, and this launch is a major step in helping our partners do just that.”

The newly launched programme allows companies to easily offer Urban Jungle’s insurance products and leverages technology to ensure that partners remain compliant, without the need to be directly regulated by the FCA.

The Urban Jungle API, built for ease of integration, allows partners to serve insurance quotes within their own apps, improving relevance and conversion through a low friction customer experience.

As part of the launch, Urban Jungle went live with CreditLadder.

“CreditLadder is focused on supporting tenants. Together with helping tenants improve their credit history we’re delighted to offer them great value contents insurance through Urban Jungle. The integration has been seamless and adds an important element to the CreditLadder offering”

said Sheraz Dar, CEO CreditLadder.

Urban Jungle currently offer Contents Insurance through the programme and will be looking to add a number of additional products in the near future.
