BimaPay Finsure, a digital lending platform, has unveiled a pioneering initiative in the Indian financial landscape by launching the country's first premium financing solution specifically designed for corporate insurance. This innovative offering aims to revolutionize how businesses manage their insurance expenses, allowing them to convert large upfront premium payments into manageable Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs).

Many businesses, particularly Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), grapple with the financial strain of substantial upfront insurance premium payments. This often impacts their cash flows and can lead to delayed or inadequate insurance coverage. Hanut Mehta, Co-founder and CEO of BimaPay Finsure, highlighted this issue, stating, “Many businesses, especially MSMEs, struggle to afford large upfront premiums. Our installment-based model addresses this gap and helps maintain insurance coverage without impacting cash flows.” Traditional lending institutions often do not cater to these insurance-specific financing needs, and insurers typically require the full premium in advance, which can delay or limit coverage.

BimaPay's solution is entirely digital, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience for businesses. It requires no additional collateral, as the insurance policy itself serves as the sole security. The platform offers real-time approval, enabling companies to quickly access financing and secure their necessary coverage. This approach is designed to free up working capital and support better financial planning for businesses across various sectors.

The premium financing solution covers a range of corporate insurance policies, including group medical insurance, fire insurance, and personal accident insurance. BimaPay aims to cater to diverse industries such as Information Technology (IT), logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing, addressing their specific insurance needs. The company has set a target to finance over ₹20 crore worth of premiums by the end of the fiscal year 2026 (FY26).

The rollout strategy for this new solution involves initial pilot deployments to gather insights and refine the offering, with subsequent plans for a nationwide expansion to make it accessible to businesses across India. BimaPay Finsure is actively partnering with insurance companies, insurance intermediaries, and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) to facilitate widespread adoption and expand access to their financing model.

Mehta further elaborated on the vision, saying, "We’re partnering with insurance companies, intermediaries, and NBFCs to expand access and make this model widely available. This can fundamentally change how corporate insurance is financed, helping businesses stay covered while maintaining healthier cash flows."

The launch of this premium financing solution marks a significant strategic entry for BimaPay Finsure into the corporate insurance space. By leveraging technology and fostering strategic alliances, BimaPay aims to simplify premium payments, support better financial planning for businesses, and ultimately boost insurance penetration across India. This initiative is poised to address a long-standing challenge in the corporate insurance market, providing businesses with more flexible and sustainable options for managing their insurance obligations.
