A Complete Guide to White Label Insurance for Partners
White label insurance is a business model where an insurance provider creates insurance products and solutions that other companies rebrand and sell directly to their own customers under their own brand name.
In essence, the insurance provider (like Eleos) handles all the backend complexity—underwriting, compliance, claims management—while your company takes the front-end credit, revenue, and customer relationship.
Think of it like this: Just as a grocery store can sell products under its own private label while another company manufactures them, white label insurance allows fintech apps, lending platforms, savings apps, and other brands to offer protection without building an insurance company from scratch.
How White Label Insurance Works
White label insurance operates through a streamlined partnership model:
Step 1: Integration - You select one of three integration options (no-code, low-code, or API) to connect your platform to the insurance provider's infrastructure.
Step 2: Branding - Your company's logo, colors, and messaging appear throughout the entire customer journey. Customers believe they're buying directly from your company.
Step 3: Sales - Your customers purchase insurance through your platform. The insurance provider handles underwriting, approval, and fulfillment behind the scenes.
Step 4: Operations - The white label insurance provider typically manages regulatory compliance, claims processing, and ongoing customer support. You remain responsible for the customer-facing brand.
Step 5: Revenue - Your company earns a commission on every policy sold.
Key Benefits of White Label Insurance
White label insurance offers substantial incentives and competitive advantages:
1. Rapid Time-to-Market
Companies can launch insurance offerings in as little as one week instead of months or years. No need to build your own infrastructure or hire insurance specialists.
2. Minimal Setup Costs
Traditional insurance launches require significant capital investment. With white label solutions, there are little to no upfront development costs, licensing fees, or compliance expenditures. Your white label insurance provider typically covers all infrastructure.
3. Regulatory Compliance Handled
Insurance is heavily regulated. A white label insurance provider can either help you navigate any regulatory requirements or even allow you to operate under their license.
4. Revenue Without Operational Burden
Earn commission on every policy sold without managing claims, underwriting, or customer service headaches. The provider handles everything operational.
5. Enhanced Customer Experience
Offer customers seamless, integrated insurance directly within your existing platform. No need to download new apps or go through a different company—just the smooth experience today's consumers expect.
Real-World White Label Insurance Use Cases
White label insurance works across multiple platforms and business models:
Fintech Lending Platforms
A lending app offers white-labeled disability insurance at checkout. Borrowers purchase coverage while securing their loan, protecting both the borrower and the lender.
Savings & Credit-Building Apps
A savings app embeds white-labeled life insurance to help families build financial resilience. It positions the provider as part of the broader financial wellness ecosystem.
Buy-Now-Pay-Later (BNPL) Services
A payment app offers payment protection insurance. BNPL providers leverage white label insurance to reduce churn and build customer loyalty.
Employer Platforms
HR software includes white-labeled disability and life insurance as employee benefits, differentiating the platform.
Subscription Services
Premium subscriptions bundle device protection, travel insurance, and accidental damage coverage as member perks. Subscribers receive automatic coverage without separate enrollment, improving retention and perceived value.
