Finaeo Inc.
Digital marketplace and advisor platform for independent life and health insurance distribution
Overview
Finaeo Inc. is a Canadian insurtech that operates a digital marketplace connecting independent life and health insurance advisors with carriers and clients. Founded in 2016 by Aly Dhalla and Donald Chu -- both former insurance advisors -- Finaeo enables brokers to take clients from prospect to policy entirely digitally, eliminating paperwork and reducing the time to place coverage.
The platform addresses a longstanding gap in the Canadian life and health insurance market where traditional processes relied heavily on paper-based workflows. By providing an end-to-end digital workflow, Finaeo empowers independent advisors to access 15+ carriers and 300+ products, compete with larger distribution networks, and deliver a modern digital experience to their clients.
Finaeo is built by advisors, for advisors. Its mission is to reimagine the life insurance industry by building the digital fabric to connect and power life and health insurance globally.
