Bio:

Acclaim is the payment infrastructure purpose-built for global insurers. We give travel, health, life, and specialty carriers, MGAs, and TPAs a single unified platform for every payment flow—premium collection, commission payouts, claims and member reimbursements, and provider disbursements—across more than 200 countries, 90 currencies, and 110 local payment methods.

In travel and international health, the payment moment defines trust. Acclaim moves money on real-time local rails with payee choice, cutting claims payout times from days to minutes. Faster, more transparent payments lift NPS and strengthen broker and member relationships, while local acquiring and the elimination of intermediary bank fees drive payment-spend reductions of 40% or more in cross-border markets.

The platform integrates directly with claims, policy, and finance systems—modernizing payments without replacing core systems—and embeds real-time validation, cost transparency, compliance controls, automated reconciliation, and multi-currency treasury management across the full payment lifecycle. Segregated funds, multi-level hierarchy support, and unified reporting keep capacity providers and regulators confident.

Acclaim is built on compliant infrastructure with SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR alignment, built-in AML and sanctions screening, and regional data residency in the US, EU, and Canada. A low-friction rollout takes most programs live in weeks, not months.
