Integrating D&B data and domain knowledge with Claude reduces commercial underwriting workflows from days to minutes
"For decades, insurance companies have relied on Dun & Bradstreet's verified business data and analytics to help them improve risk selection and pricing and increase profitability," said Scott Spencer, General Manager, Finance & Credit at Dun & Bradstreet. "Now, Claude allows us to draw inference across our Commercial Graph to provide a more holistic understanding of the risks they are insuring. By making D&B's business information and risk intelligence accessible in Claude, not only are our customers able to consider opportunities faster, but the outputs are explainable, auditable, and consistent, allowing decision-makers to act with confidence."
Commercial underwriting submissions today are slowed by fragmented, manual workflows and data retrieval, but by integrating D&B data and domain knowledge with Claude, insurers can collapse that chain into a single, intelligent workflow built in minutes. Combining KYB, entity resolution, screening, ownership insights, financial risk checks, and onboarding, this approach anchors the critical clearance stage at the front end, while preserving the governance and auditability that regulated environments demand.
As demonstrated by Anthropic's Mike Ram and Eoghan Scully at Insurtech Insights
For example, a carrier intake team can use D&B data in Claude to clear a new submission in seconds, verifying the insured's identity and ownership structure, confirming Broker of Record and producer licensure by product and location, screening against regulatory requirements, conducting thorough financial risk checks, flagging duplicate submissions, and assembling a decision-ready risk profile for the underwriter.
"Claude is at its most powerful when it can reason over verified, real-world context," said Mike Ram, Head of Insurance at Anthropic. "By bringing D&B's business data information and risk intelligence directly in Claude, insurers can create and use agents that act on trusted data. This helps D&B's customers move faster on clearance, underwriting, and claims without compromising the accuracy these decisions demand."
Through the MCP-based integration, insurers can securely access D&B's Global Commercial Graph to:
- Verify the identity, ownership, and control structure of each insured and broker across the submission process
- Clear submissions automatically at intake, including Broker of Record, producer licensure, duplicate checks, financial risk profiling, and OFAC/KYB screening
- Assess profile risk with a 360-degree view drawn from first- and third-party data and predictive scores
- Automate underwriting, rating, quoting, and claims agents that incorporate real-time risk intelligence and generate audit-ready documentation
This offering for insurers builds on the risk and compliance workflows Dun & Bradstreet launched in Claude last month. D&B's insurance workflows supplement that foundation in Claude with the addition of financial strength insights to assess insureds' credit, filings, payments, and more.
