Key benefits include:
Creating a Safer, Simpler Insurance Shopping Experience For Consumers
Consumers used to give up on saving money on car insurance because of the level of effort and the risk of making a mistake. Now, with just the password to their existing insurance, consumers can use Savvy to instantly access final insurance quotes (not just rate estimates) that are guaranteed to match or beat every line of coverage already held. Integrated checkout makes switching as simple as entering a credit card number - Savvy takes care of the rest. If help is needed, customers get free access to a specially-trained team of nationally-licensed insurance advisors – conveniently available over SMS, phone, and email.
Empowering Consumer Businesses to Understand and Serve Their Customers
Savvy enables all kinds of businesses – especially consumer fintech applications – to deepen the financial data and insight they have about their users, and to serve them more broadly. Partners embed Savvy in order to deliver a personalized insurance comparison and optimization experience, which delights end consumers and generates significant new revenue for growth.
Setting a New Standard for Privacy and Security in Insurance
Trellis password protects insurance data to provide a much-needed layer of security for highly sensitive personal information. This might sound like an obvious necessity, but it’s not a common practice within insurance. By allowing policyholders to securely access and share information, Trellis not only protects insurers from data breaches, but also enables the integration of insurance into the broader world of personal finance.

“Buying insurance is a complicated process that currently lacks transparency – consumers are tasked with loads of paperwork, fine print, and policy options they may not fully understand or know how to compare. As a result, many are stuck with policies that are too expensive, and not tailored to their unique needs,” said
The new Savvy is now available to select consumers across the Midwest and South through an initial partnership with Branch, a full-stack insurance company that uses data and technology to make insurance easier to buy and less expensive. In the coming months, Trellis plans to expand this partnership nationwide and launch similar partnerships with other leading insurance providers.
“At Branch, we’re on a mission to make insurance quicker, easier, and more convenient. Demystifying the choices a consumer has to make around their coverage is a key component of doing that well,” said
Not only does the launch of Savvy’s new functionality represent a major innovation in the industry, but its also a critical proofpoint of Trellis’ recent momentum. Over the past year, Trellis has doubled its partnerships and currently counts 4 of the 5 top digital-only banks as partners. The company has seen significant user growth – with the number of new monthly users nearly tripling over the past 6 months. In total, more than 6 million users have visited Savvy, and over 650,000 user insurance accounts have been securely connected to Trellis.
Looking forward, this launch lays the foundation for continued innovation within insurtech, as Trellis works to onboard more insurance companies onto its platform, and create new pathways for consumers, businesses, and insurers to better navigate the world of insurance. Trellis has invented a way to securely access and share insurance information that will ultimately unlock unprecedented value for all stakeholders.
