For MGAs

Reinsurance for Managing General Agents

Regure connects products and policies with their binder or capacity arrangement. Authority checks happen during the transaction; premium, claims and exposure reporting come from the same governed records sent to the capacity provider. Built for MGAs, Lloyd’s coverholders and delegated authority operations.

Why MGA reinsurance platform needs an operational record

An MGA must operate the retail or specialty book and prove performance to capacity providers. When underwriting, claims, authority usage and bordereaux are separated, aggregate control and delegated authority evidence arrive too late.

Regure connects products and policies with their binder or capacity arrangement. Authority checks happen during the transaction; premium, claims and exposure reporting come from the same governed records sent to the capacity provider.

The design principle is straightforward: commercial terms, operational state, financial movements, documents and control evidence should not be separate representations of the same deal. They should be views of one governed record. That removes re-keying and makes the answer to a buyer, finance team, auditor or regulator reproducible.

How the work moves through Regure

Each stage has an owner, required information, allowed transitions and an audit history. Exceptions are routed rather than hidden in email.

1. Configure the authority

Record permitted products, territories, limits, referrals, exclusions, dates, aggregates, commission and reporting obligations.

2. Write within control

Apply product, rating and authority rules during quote, bind, endorsement and renewal, routing exceptions before commitment.

3. Administer policies and claims

Keep documents, premium movements, claims, approvals and correspondence tied to the policy and governing binder.

4. Report to capacity

Generate validated bordereaux, aggregate positions, claims development and audit evidence from the operational record.

A modern reinsurance platform does not become another silo

API-first boundaries

Regure can receive submissions, policy transactions, claims and reference data, then publish approved placement, accounting and reporting results. Interfaces use stable identifiers and reconciliation states so failed or duplicate transfers remain visible.

Multi-currency by transaction

Original, deal and settlement currencies remain explicit. Exchange rates are stored with their date, source and purpose, allowing debit notes, credit notes, commission, claims and recoveries to reconcile without overwriting contractual values.

Configurable jurisdictions

Legal entities, offices, permissions, documents, disclosures, approval thresholds and retention rules can vary by jurisdiction while the operating model and reporting taxonomy remain consistent across the group.

Controls embedded in the reinsurance workflow

A control is useful when it changes what can happen before the transaction commits, not when it only reports an exception afterward.

Real-time binder authority checks

The platform records the applicable rule, responsible role, decision, supporting evidence and timestamp. Authorized exceptions remain explicit and reportable.

Aggregate monitoring

The platform records the applicable rule, responsible role, decision, supporting evidence and timestamp. Authorized exceptions remain explicit and reportable.

Referral and override evidence

The platform records the applicable rule, responsible role, decision, supporting evidence and timestamp. Authorized exceptions remain explicit and reportable.

Controlled product versions

The platform records the applicable rule, responsible role, decision, supporting evidence and timestamp. Authorized exceptions remain explicit and reportable.

Bordereaux validation

The platform records the applicable rule, responsible role, decision, supporting evidence and timestamp. Authorized exceptions remain explicit and reportable.

Coverholder audit pack

The platform records the applicable rule, responsible role, decision, supporting evidence and timestamp. Authorized exceptions remain explicit and reportable.

What changes when the reinsurance record is connected

The business case for MGA reinsurance platform is not fewer screens. It is fewer breaks between the commercial decision, the contract, the accounting movement and the evidence used to defend them.

One definition of participation

A market’s offered, written and signed positions are different facts and remain different fields. The signed position drives allocation, documents and downstream accounting; earlier positions remain available for placement analysis. Users no longer have to decide which spreadsheet column should be treated as final, and management reporting does not count an indication as bound capacity.

Documents generated from approved data

Slips, endorsements, debit notes, credit notes, statements and bordereaux are produced from the approved transaction state. Templates control presentation, but they do not become a shadow database. If an amount or participant changes, the system records the change, routes approval where required and regenerates the affected output with its version history intact.

Accounting tied to commercial terms

Premium, brokerage, ceding commission, tax, instalments, claims and recoveries refer to the contract terms and participant shares that created them. Finance can trace a balance to the underlying transaction, while brokers and underwriters can see whether a signed deal has been closed, invoiced, settled or left outstanding.

Management information from live work

Pipeline, capacity, renewal, outstanding documentation, aged balances and control exceptions are views of current records. Teams do not stop operating to prepare a management pack. Definitions can still be governed centrally, but every reported figure retains the transactions that make it up.

Questions to ask a MGA reinsurance platform vendor

Can the system show the transaction at any prior date?

A current value is insufficient for audit, dispute handling and operational learning. Ask whether users can see who changed a term or share, the previous value, the reason, the approval and which documents were valid at that moment. A general activity log is not a substitute for field-level history.

What is configuration, and what requires development?

Test a real change: a new commission basis, approval threshold, output template, currency or reporting field. Establish who can make it, how it is tested, how it is promoted, whether it affects other tenants and how rollback works. This exposes the actual cost and lead time of operating change.

How are exceptions reconciled?

Interfaces, calculations and document generation will encounter incomplete or conflicting records. The important question is whether exceptions have identifiers, owners, status, evidence and a controlled retry path. Silent skips and downloadable error files simply create another manual queue outside the platform.

For a procurement exercise, use a fixed scenario pack across vendors: one new placement with multiple quote revisions, one mid-term change, one participant settling in another currency, one claim crossing an attachment point, one overdue recovery and one renewal with materially changed terms. Require the vendor to complete the chain and show the audit record, not just demonstrate isolated screens.

Implement against a real book, not a generic process map

The implementation baseline is a representative set of live or recently completed transactions. Those cases expose the actual terms, documents, exceptions, roles and downstream requirements that a workshop diagram misses.

Discovery and model

Map products, treaty types, currencies, counterparties, approval authorities, templates, accounting events, interfaces and regulatory evidence. Separate genuine variation from historical workarounds.

Configure and prove

Run representative new business, renewal, endorsement, claim and settlement scenarios. Compare calculated values and generated documents with accepted source examples before user acceptance.

Migrate and operate

Move the active records needed for continuity, retain source identifiers, reconcile totals and establish ownership for configuration, data quality, integrations and release approval.

Review the wider platform architecture, security controls and pricing approach, or compare the operational chain across placement, treaty management, closings, bordereaux and recoveries.

Questions buyers ask about MGA reinsurance platform

What is MGA reinsurance platform?

MGA reinsurance platform is an operating system for the reinsurance record: parties, terms, market participation, financial movements, documents, approvals and evidence remain connected from the first submission through settlement and renewal.

Can MGA reinsurance platform support facultative and treaty business?

Yes. Facultative business is managed risk by risk, while treaty business carries structures, periods, layers, participants, adjustments and performance terms. Both use the same controlled counterparty, document, accounting and audit services.

Does Regure support multiple currencies?

Yes. The deal currency, settlement currency and recorded exchange rate remain explicit. Premium, brokerage, commission, tax, claims and recoveries can therefore be reconciled without replacing the original contractual amount.

Can Regure work with an existing core or finance system?

Yes. Regure can run the reinsurance operation end to end or manage the placement and administration workflow beside an existing policy, general-ledger or data-warehouse system through configured APIs and controlled exports.

How does the platform support audit and compliance?

Every material state change records the actor, time, prior value, new value and supporting document. Permissions, approvals, sanctions evidence, counterparty records and generated documents remain attached to the transaction they governed.

How is implementation scoped?

Implementation starts with a representative book, its documents, approval rules, currencies, market roles and downstream outputs. Configuration is tested against real placements before migration and wider rollout.
