Yesterday major insurance broker Marsh
announced it’s starting to roll out its blockchain proof of insurance solution to clients in the U.S. The blockchain has been in the making for more than a year. The initial app will enable clients to search, retrieve, issue and reissue certificates of insurance. It converts a manual process to an automated on-demand one.
