Pursuing a More Innovative Ontario Insurance Sector: Barriers and Opportunities Report

The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario is actively working with the insurance sector to try and develop and adopt new ground-breaking ideas.

Recently, FSRA’s Innovation Office held consultations with stakeholders to hear about innovative opportunities and regulatory barriers to innovation in their sector.

To summarize this input, FSRA is releasing the Pursuing a More Innovative Ontario Insurance Sector: Barriers and Opportunities Report.

FSRA’s Innovation Office wants to thank everyone who participated in the consultations and is committed to ongoing dialogue with the insurance sector to ensure consumers have access to the latest advancements while protecting the public interest.

The report is broken down into two categories:

  • auto insurance, and
  • other lines of insurance

The commentary we received from our discussions with auto insurance sector stakeholders highlights four main themes for supporting innovation:

  1. New mobility solutions
  2. Reform of the mandatory auto insurance product
  3. Usage-based insurance and telematics
  4. Researching the use of credit information in the pricing of auto insurance

The commentary we received from our discussions with other insurance sector stakeholders highlights three main themes for supporting innovation:

  1. Digitization
  2. Electronic designation of beneficiaries
  3. Standardization and harmonization
