This service improves workflows, enabling fast and secure communication between all involved parties.
The Standard API Framework (SAF) enables secure data exchange between brokers and insurers and ensures the seamless upload and download of files related to core processes. SAF offers a secure, event-driven architecture for encrypted data exchange. With this solution, brokers and insurers can exchange data asynchronously without the senders and recipients needing to be available at the same time. Data is exchanged on an event-driven basis in JSON format via Kafka or a REST proxy API, which significantly simplifies the integration. End-to-end encryption ensures that only senders and recipients have access to the content.

By acting as an intermediary for secure data exchange, EcoHub supports insurers and brokers in automating their operations. SAF provides a modern, flexible, and secure data exchange system that accelerates integrations and significantly enhances data security in insurance data exchange through API integration. Data access can be achieved either via broker software with SAF integration or through the EcoHub process tool. If you are not using SAF-compatible software, you can connect your customised software solution to EcoHub’s SAF service as part of an integration project.
