MyCover.ai API
Insurance
Embed auto, health, travel & gadget insurance from licensed Nigerian insurers
MyCover.ai API Highlights
MyCover.ai API is best for Nigerian fintech, e-commerce, mobility and logistics apps that want to embed insurance products and earn commission without an insurance licence.
ai is a Lagos-based embedded-insurance platform. Its APIs and SDKs let apps sell and manage policies from licensed Nigerian insurers (including AIICO, Leadway, AXA, Custodian, Heirs, Sanlam-Allianz and Hygeia) without holding an insurance licence.
Products cover auto, health, travel (Schengen and non-Schengen), gadget, goods-in-transit (package), credit life and home/office contents insurance. Operational APIs handle products, policies, claims, customers and sales, and webhooks report policy and claim events.
Claims run through an automated flow from notification to loss assessment and payout. SDKs initialise with a public key (MCAPUBK_TEST|… for test mode, MCAPUBK_LIVE|… for live).
ai is not an insurer; it distributes policies underwritten by its partner insurers.
