BiPRO is FIDA-Ready!

BiPRO focuses on process optimization, standardization and community. The BiPRO standards have created an industry-wide, generally recognized market standard that enables sustainable digitalization of the insurance industry.

Thanks to the large BiPRO community, Germany is becoming a pioneer of digital insurance communication in the EU, while other countries and initiatives essentially have to start from scratch when it comes to standardization.

The BiPRO data model and the specifications of the interfaces already largely cover the requirements of FiDA, including with regard to end customer processes and customer data. The industry-wide implementation of data transmission is well advanced for most members.
