The app collects just a fixed fee, so the claims process is automatically non-biased and clearly quicker and easier for customers. The unclaimed fees are donated to charity through the company’s Givebacl scheme. When they are registering into the system, customers choose the kind of charity they would like to donate to. The app also offers the members the possibility of being part of a community givers. From its estimations, around 40% of the premiums are donated to good causes via the app scheme. The take away is that Lemonade and its customers are working together rather than fighting over the same coin.
Lemonade’s chief behavioural officer Dan Ariely writes on Lemonade’s blog:
“Instead of fighting with our customers over the same coin, we join our customers in fighting for a common cause. That changes everything! It eliminates conflicts of interests, and creates a partnership between Lemonade, our customers, and their chosen non-profit.”
Lemonade’s transparent approach is complemented by a seamless and effortless app. Target: young public that doesn’t want to spend hours completing forms. 81% of Lemonade’s users are aged between 25 and 44. The whole insurance purchasing flow can be completed through the app. Lemonade’s founders claim that it takes about 90 seconds to receive the insurance and 3 minutes to receive your payment.
Forget about filling forms. To get paid, users can simply record a video on their mobile via the app. There’s no need of human interaction. The bots are doing the major part of the hard work. No paperwork, no form-filling. The bots process the requirements.
The app is the first insurer that can process an insurance requirement pr payment claim without human interaction. There is a validation system of the payment that is reviewed by a series of algorithms that check the claim before the payment approval.
