UAE based Al Wathba National Insurance implements Blockchain using Addenda

Abu Dhabi headquartered Al Wathba National Insurance Co (AWNIC) has announced the first move of its kind in the Middle East in transferring recovery files using blockchain technology. The first transfer took place on 16 October through the blockchain enabled technology platform MIRSAAS, a B2B motor insurance claim recovery blockchain settlement layer offered by Addenda Technologies. “With MIRSAAS going live on 16 October 2019, AWNIC became the first insurance company in the Middle East to transfer recovery files with other insurance companies through blockchain technology. This partnership with an emerging technology provider like Addenda would provide an edge to all the insurance companies within the network by bringing in a hassle-free process which would in turn enhance visibility and transparency,” said Mr Anas Mistareehi, COO of AWNIC.
