Cover in Africa is usually sold, not built. So we built it.
Insurance APIs that let digital banks and platforms offer real protection inside the apps people already use.
Why Unyte existed
Unyte exists because cover in Africa is usually sold, not built. The infrastructure underneath (motor registration, claims, renewals) is the part businesses actually need, and the part nobody had made reliable enough to depend on.
So we built the rails. Banks and platforms plug in once, and their customers get protection at the moment they need it, without leaving the app they already trust.
One shield, whoever is standing behind it
Embedded insurance APIsProducts banks and platforms switch on inside their own apps, used by 4+ digital banks and reaching over 4 million users.
Motor, claims and renewalsThe unglamorous infrastructure underneath cover, made reliable enough to depend on.
Student protectionThousands of first-time policyholders, issued through the same rails that handle a fleet.
UK market entryTaking the model beyond Nigeria, backed by the Tech Nation Libra 2024 programme.
The proof
Student protection was the proof: thousands of policies written for people who had never held one.
Issued through the same rails that handle a fleet. One shield, one set of guarantees, whoever is standing behind it.
