Are you ready for Personalized Economy the opposite of FriendsEconomy

In my last blog I focused on the tribe way for financial products, this time my focus is on the ego way of financial products.


The Nordic supermarket chain Rema 1000 launched an insurance company some weeks ago. Their first product is car insurance. The annual insurance fee is a result of how good a driver you are. Every customer have different and individually tailor-made annual fee based on their driving pattern. The company measures this by installing a black-box in the car connected to the computer in the car. This black-box register and stores your speed, you acceleration, your way of breaking, your distance to the car in front of you (if you have a front camera), etc. The black-box is connected to Internet and the insurance company.  Codan and other Nordic insurance companies plan to do the same shortly.  Thomas Jacobsen tell the newspaper DN that “I always try to get better score with the insurance company, so I actually drives more carefully now than before”. The driver has an app where he can follow the scoring day by day.

What if your life insurance company calculate the annual policy fee based on you hart rate/pulse, number of times per week you goes to the gym or does some hours of exercise outdoor (estimated from the pulse), how much you sleep etc. all that information they can get from a Polar, Garmin or any other fitness watch? This way you will pay a 100 % personalized insurance fee.

What if your bank calculate interest rate on you loan and mortgage based on your payment history, where and when you do your payment, how frequent you post on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. The interest you pay is not alone based on what type of security/collateral you offer (house, flat, car,..) but how well you manage you day to day finance.


Personalized Finance is here to stay, and is enabled by Internet of Things, Blockchain, the Value Web and change in most consumers mind-set.
