The claims process across Nigerian insurance is broken. ClaimsIQ fixes it.
Not with theory. With a platform built specifically for how Nigerian insurers work — motor, health, and beyond.
Four barriers holding Nigerian insurers back
Four challenges that define claims processing in Nigeria today — and that NIIRA 2025 is now making impossible to ignore.
No Competitive Edge
Claims handling is identical across Nigerian insurers. No product, no process, and no technology differentiates one operator from another in the moment that matters most to the policyholder.
Reputation at Risk
Slow, opaque claims processing is the single biggest driver of customer complaints and non-renewals. In a workforce-constrained market, manual processing means delays — and delays mean reputational damage.
Revenue Lost to Fraud
No audit trail, no structured triage, no repeatable screening. Every manual claim decision is a gap that fraud can exploit. The losses are systematic and largely invisible until they accumulate.
Growth is Structurally Blocked
An insurer cannot scale a manual claims process. Volume growth means reviewer overload, processing delays, and increasing error rates — creating a ceiling on how large the book of business can grow.
One platform. Four problems solved.
How ClaimsIQ solves them →Before ClaimsIQ. After ClaimsIQ.

Why WhatsApp? Because that is where your team already works.
No new app for your claims team to learn. No new portal to log in to. No password resets. ClaimsIQ works inside WhatsApp — the channel Nigerian insurance professionals already use every day. Your team submits a claim the same way they send a message. ClaimsIQ does the rest.
WhatsApp-native. Not WhatsApp-only.
ClaimsIQ is built on WhatsApp because it is the channel Nigerian policyholders and insurers already use. But the platform does not stop there.
If your organisation collects claims by email, your existing system can feed directly into ClaimsIQ. If your claims management system needs structured output, ClaimsIQ can deliver it. If your Enterprise team wants the AI triage results pushed into your own dashboard, we build that connection.
WhatsApp is the default. Integration is the option. Your workflow stays intact.
FAQ
Common questions
No. WhatsApp is the primary intake channel because it is where Nigerian policyholders already are. But ClaimsIQ can also ingest claims from email and integrate with your existing claims management system. If your organisation uses a different intake channel, we scope the integration as part of your onboarding.
No. ClaimsIQ supports your team — it does not replace them. Every claim decision is made by a licensed adjudicator on your team. ClaimsIQ provides the structured evidence, the fraud signal results, and the AI recommendation. Your adjudicator reviews everything and makes the call. Human-in-the-loop is a non-negotiable design principle.
ClaimsIQ is built for NAICOM-licensed insurers across motor, health, and other lines of business. The Starter tier is optimised for text-based claims. The Growth tier adds image intelligence for vehicle damage assessment. Enterprise clients can configure ClaimsIQ for any claim type.
Every claim processed through ClaimsIQ generates a tamper-proof audit trail — every submission, every fraud signal result, every AI recommendation, every adjudicator decision, with timestamps. This audit trail is formatted for NAICOM inspection. Your compliance team does not need to build it — it is automatic.
Yes. ClaimsIQ can output structured claim results to your existing claims management system via a REST API. We scope and build the integration as part of the Enterprise tier onboarding. If you have an existing system you need to connect, raise it during your demo request and we will confirm compatibility.
