Insurity Survey Finds Only 15% of Consumers Prefer a Fully Digital Insurance Experience
HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Insurity, a leading provider of cloud-based software for insurance carriers, brokers, and MGAs, today released new insights from its 2025 Digital Experience Index, shedding light on how P&C insurance customers want to interact with their insurers in an increasingly digital world. While many insurers are doubling down on automation and digital self-service, the research reveals that only 15% of consumers want a fully self-service, digital-only experience from their insurer. In contrast, 48% of respondents prefer a digital-first model with the option to speak to someone if needed, underscoring the importance of hybrid engagement strategies combining efficiency and flexibility. The survey also found that communication preferences vary widely. While 47% of consumers still use the phone to communicate with their insurer, 44% prefer email updates during claims, and others favor text messages or app notifications. This insight suggests that beyond automation, consumer expectations are centered on choice, especially in how and when they receive information. This push for flexibility reflects a broader consumer expectation for seamless, intuitive digital experiences across every touchpoint. The Digital Experience Index found that 64% of consumers would consider switching insurers for a better digital experience, making it clear that frustrating or rigid interactions don't just cause dissatisfaction; they actively drive attrition. For insurers, meeting these expectations is a key driver of retention and competitive differentiation. For P&C carriers refining their digital strategies, achieving the ideal balance between technology and human interaction is paramount. While mobile apps and online self-service tools offer convenience and efficiency, including accessible human support for high-stakes or complex situations ensures a deeper connection with policyholders. This delicate integration not only enhances user satisfaction but also fosters trust, loyalty, and long-term engagement, making it a cornerstone of competitive advantage in an increasingly digital insurance landscape. 'The push for digitization often overlooks the nuanced needs of policyholders,' said Sylvester Mathis, Chief Revenue and Insurance Officer at Insurity. 'Our findings highlight that while automation and self-service tools are invaluable, they should never come at the expense of human connection. Customers seek reliability and empathy, especially in critical moments like claims or policy adjustments. Insurers that strike the right balance between cutting-edge technology and accessible human support will not only meet but exceed expectations, fostering deeper loyalty and solidifying their competitive edge.' This survey was conducted online in April 2025, and more than 1,000 adult participants were randomly selected across the United States to ensure a representative sample. Respondents were asked a series of 19 questions, ranging from multiple-choice to scale-based, to gauge their opinions on their digital experience. Data analysis was performed to identify key patterns and insights.

New Insurity Survey Identifies Top Digital Features Policyholders Want and Key Areas for Improving Policyholder Engagement
New data shows a gap between the digital services consumers value most and the features insurers are delivering, risking trust and long-term retention HARTFORD, Conn., May 28, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Insurity, a leading provider of cloud-based software for insurance carriers, brokers, and MGAs, released new insights from its 2025 Digital Experience Index, which evaluates consumer satisfaction with digital interactions across the P&C insurance experience. The survey found that policyholders place increased value on three core digital services: streamlined billing and payments, immediate access to policy documents, and the ability to file and track claims online. For insurers aiming to boost retention and satisfaction, optimizing these essential touchpoints for simplicity, speed, and reliability should be a strategic priority. While policyholders value digital convenience, the survey also identified several areas where insurers are falling short. Features such as 24/7 customer support and real-time claim status updates were among the lowest rated in terms of usefulness, suggesting that these critical service capabilities are not meeting expectations. When asked what would improve their experience, consumers cited more self-service tools, streamlined claims-filing processes, and better mobile app design, indicating an apparent demand for more intuitive, responsive digital touchpoints. For insurers, these findings reinforce the need to align digital strategy with evolving customer expectations. Enhancing usability is no longer optional, particularly in high-impact areas like claims. In fact, the Digital Experience Index found that one in five consumers have avoided filing a claim due to frustrating processes, highlighting how poor digital experiences can directly undermine customer trust and long-term retention. Insurers must invest in solutions that remove complexity and deliver consistent, seamless interactions across the policyholder journey to stay competitive. "Digital ease and speed are now essential for the insurance experience," said Sylvester Mathis, Chief Insurance and Chief Revenue Officer at Insurity. "The data underscores a crucial insight: policyholders increasingly demand seamless and empowering digital interactions that remove barriers and provide immediate solutions. Insurers that fail to prioritize user-centric platforms, especially during pivotal moments like filing a claim, risk losing individual transactions and eroding long-term trust and customer loyalty." This survey was conducted online in April 2025, and more than 1,000 adult participants were randomly selected across the United States to ensure a representative sample.
