Underwriting Technology

Making your job much, much easier.

We at MSB take a great deal of pride in our underwriting technology and analytical solutions. The last thing we wanted was to have these solutions incompatible with your existing workflow.

It would be very hard to call them solutions, wouldn't it?

We made sure that would not happen by developing the finest building valuation underwriting technology available to the property insurance industry.

RCT- Underwriting Technology Ensuring Profitability by Solving Insurance to Value Issues

MSB’s Residential Component Technology™ (RCT) enables you to calculate reliable replacement values for any home.

RCT underwriting technology accomplishes this by relying on our proven “total-component” methodology. This method calculates risk-specific reconstruction costs for each home using interior and exterior home characteristics, ensuring each home is properly insured to value.

RCT doesn’t just stop there. By using RCT, you can

  • Build greater overall policyholder satisfaction.
  • Generate new revenue and improve operating ratios.
  • Gain a more comprehensive understanding of your book of property business and negotiate the best reinsurance terms and rates.
  • Offer agents “one and done” business transactions when selling and binding property accounts.
  • Archive data for ongoing book of business maintenance.
  • Capitalize on market opportunity.

Equally important, the RCT interface is intuitive, user-friendly and configurable to support your workflow.
