eReinsurance bought by Fortegra

Insurance services company Fortegra Financial has announced an agreement to acquire eReinsurance.com for $37 million (£22.7 million).

Fortegra provides distribution and administration services, and insurance-related products for insurers. US-based eReinsurance, which was founded 11 years ago and has offices in London, supplies web-hosted applications for the reinsurance market.

According to a statement from the company, Fortega will use the acquisition to offer eReinsurance’s negotiation platform to insurers, reinsurers and brokers. The company’s technology supports placing reinsurance risks.
