Zurich Insurance Group has launched Zurich eXchange, a global API marketplace that brings together services from across the Zurich Group.

The shared API management platform has been adopted by 15 Zurich business units and currently covers 1,433 managed APIs, with more than 63 million API-enabled transactions per month.

The platform also offers 50 open APIs for customers, distributors and partners to connect digitally with Zurich and integrate new Zurich insurance products into their own digital channels.

Through these APIs, for example, Zurich is enabling its commercial claims customers to seamlessly access their latest claims data and policy documents digitally at any time.
