API Development for Insurance — UK Specifics

Insurance Industry API Ecosystem

UK insurance APIs: Lloyd's Marketplace API (policy placing and capacity allocation), Acturis API (broker management system — market share ~35% UK brokers), OpenGI API (broker platform), SSP Avante API, Motor Insurance Database (MID) API (mandatory for MVC claims), CUE (Claims Underwriting Exchange) API (claims history — mandatory for FCA compliance), and Insurance Premium Tax API (HMRC IPT return automation).

FCA ICOBS API Requirements

ICOBS demands and needs: each insurance product sold via API must match the customer's stated demands and needs. API design: product recommendation APIs must return only eligible products for the applicant profile. Cancellation: 14-day cooling-off period must be trackable via API — cancellation endpoint required with refund calculation. Fair treatment: API must not return products the customer cannot validly claim under.

Lloyd's Placing Platform API

Lloyd's PPL (Placing Platform Limited) API: electronic placement of Lloyd's risks. API capabilities: risk submission, capacity negotiation, quote binding, endorsements, and cancellations. Lloyd's Marketplace API: capacity allocation from Lloyd's syndicates, premium calculation, and settlement via ECF (Electronic Claims File). ClickMasters has Lloyd's PPL API integration experience — requires Lloyd's Market Association (LMA) technical standards compliance.

Solvency II UK Reporting API Architecture

Solvency II UK: Quantitative Reporting Template (QRT) data feeds. Insurance software APIs must provide structured data export for QRT generation: premium data (S.05.01), claims data (S.19.01), investment data (S.06.02). Automated QRT generation from API-driven insurance systems reduces quarterly reporting time from days to hours.
