"At FWD, we're committed to leveraging digital technology to make insurance 
simple, reliable and direct for our customers, and our collaboration with Shift 
Technology is a strong demonstration of our customer-led approach," said 
Abhishek Bhatia, FWD's Singapore CEO. "Working with Shift also gives us greater 
confidence in applying straight through processing to a larger number of 
claims, helping to shorten turnaround time for claim payment and ultimately 
improve the customer experience."

Shift's Force uses advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and data science to 
detect potentially fraudulent claims and apply a dynamically generated fraud 
score for each claim that indicates how suspicious the claim is, contributing 
factors, and how the claim could be investigated. By applying this score to the 
company's claims, Force helps FWD eliminate the issue of fraud, waste and abuse 
as it relates to straight through processing, ensuring genuine claimants are 
paid quickly and accurately.

"One of the biggest challenges to straight through processing is being able to 
know, with certainty, that a claim is meritorious," stated Jeremy Jawish, CEO 
and co-founder, Shift Technology. "Our approach to AI-driven fraud detection 
gives our partners, such as FWD, the 'go ahead' to implement their business 
strategies with confidence and ultimately deliver a phenomenal customer 
experience."
