Snapsheet secures insurance payout gig with KeyBank
Snapsheet, the industry-leading provider of virtual claims technology for the personal and commercial insurance marketplace, is partnering with KeyBank, one of largest bank-based financial services companies in the United States, for the launch of Snapsheet Transactions, a future-proof payment solution for insurance claims.
Snapsheet’s proven understanding and expertise of insurance workflows, combined with KeyBank’s payments innovation and expertise, will transform the way insurance carriers send payments to claimants. This partnership demonstrates a shared commitment to simplifying claims, while offering optimal customer experience and a seamless payments solution.
“Snapsheet was founded to make the claims process easier for both insurance carriers and their customers, so creating a solution to meet customer expectations is an important step forward in our mission,” said CJ Przybyl, president of Snapsheet. “Check production is a meaningful cost burden to insurance carriers, not to mention customer service costs associated with claims payments, such as interactions around check status. Funds should be available to customers easily, no matter where they are; it’s not always possible for customers to receive checks at home.”

Torstone Technology, a leading global provider of post-trade securities and derivatives processing, today announced that Saxo Bank Securities Ltd. (“Saxo Bank Japan”), the investment and trading specialist, has selected Inferno to replace the bank’s legal ledger and comply with regulatory reporting requirements in Japan.
Saxo Bank Japan will initially use InfernoRC to bring greater efficiencies to its post-trade reporting processes and is looking to add additional Inferno features in future phases.

Inferno is a flexible, modern, cost-effective platform which will allow Saxo Bank Japan to run its operations efficiently and with reduced operational risk. The system is also scalable which means that Torstone can quickly respond to any subsequent operational requirements that Saxo Bank Japan may have.
