Duuo by Co-operators has announced its latest event insurance API partnership with Univerus Sport & Recreation, a division of Univerus Inc. This collaboration introduces a seamless experience for Canadians looking to book recreational facilities and secure event insurance coverage within the Univerus Rec platform.

The integration brings benefits not only to users but also to facilities on the Univerus Rec platform. Facilities will automatically be included as additional insured parties on purchased policies, ensuring immediate confirmation of insurance when their venue is booked.

Now available as an add-on service for all Univerus Rec platform clients, this partnership combines over 75 years of insurance expertise from Co-operators with cutting-edge technology, enhancing the overall user experience on the Univerus platform.

Sunni Shannon, Sr. Manager, Partnerships at Duuo by Co-operators, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, "After lots of collaboration with Univerus, it's incredibly exciting to see our APIs officially integrated within their platform. Considering event insurance was a prominent pain point for both clients and facilities, I'm incredibly proud that we can now provide reliable protection to Canadians through one seamless experience."

Jeff Downie, EVP at Univerus Sport & Recreation, shared his enthusiasm, saying, "With the help of Duuo's API technology, we're thrilled to provide this enhanced experience to Canadians who utilize our rental booking software." He highlighted the convenience for facilities, emphasizing that they are automatically notified when someone purchases or cancels a policy on the platform, streamlining insurance management.

Duuo by Co-operators is now positioned to collaborate with platforms across Canada, offering embedded insurance solutions to provide additional value for their customers. This innovative partnership signifies a commitment to enhancing the insurance experience for both users and facilities in the event booking domain.
