*Bancassurance: Europace credit platform and SMART INSUR insurance platform 
seamlessly integrated with each other for the first time* 
 
*Berlin, 24 November 2020. For the first time, Europace - the largest German 
transaction platform for mortgage finance, building finance products, and 
personal loans - and the web-based SMART INSUR insurance platform can 
communicate with each other directly. In cooperation with Sparda-Bank 
Baden-Württemberg eG (Sparda BW), a standard connection was developed that 
enables payment protection insurance to be taken out digitally in 
conjunction with a mortgage finance application.* 
 
"We want to digitalise our processes and reduce manual tasks that take up a 
lot of time so that our advisors can focus more on looking after clients 
while administrative staff can concentrate on value-adding tasks," says 
Michael Lichtner, Back Office Head of Department at Sparda BW, explaining 
the reasons for the joint project. "This not only improves our efficiency 
but also enables us to avoid errors that might potentially occur in manual 
processes." 
 
Thanks to the cooperation between Smart InsurTech AG and Europace AG, both 
of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of Hypoport SE, an advisor who 
applies for mortgage finance for their client using Europace's Baufi Smart 
frontend receives an offer for payment protection insurance and thus 
benefits from the Smart Compare comparison tool. Smart Compare connects the 
mortgage finance advisors to the product supplier Credit Life, enabling a 
quote to be requested almost in real time. 
 
Stefan Münter, Co-CEO of Europace, adds: "We are delighted that Sparda BW, a 
long-standing customer of the credit platform, has teamed up with us for 
this project. The collaboration between the two Hypoport companies allows us 
to be a one-stop shop for Sparda BW, providing the best possible process for 
advisors and end clients. It was important for us to create a standard 
interface to the SMART INSUR insurance platform as it means we can offer a 
link to payment protection insurance as part of the mortgage finance 
application process for all prospective customers in future." 
 
Besides the synergies, another benefit of the interface between the credit 
and insurance platforms is the high level of data security because both 
systems are part of the Hypoport Group and thus no external service 
providers are involved. Care was taken to maintain a separation between the 
two companies, with each one working in their own domain and only with 
access to the data that it actually needs. 
 
"By combining the expertise of Europace and Smart InsurTech, we can make 
inroads into new markets," reports Marcus Rex, member of the Management 
Board of Smart InsurTech AG. "It provides the blueprint for the integration 
of further payment protection insurance products. Any such product can be 
integrated through the interface, so it opens up huge market potential."
