As we know…
Lloyd’s of London insurers are legally obligated to submit a comprehensive list of their EL policies to the ELTO within specified timeframes and in a standardized format. The process involves many voluntary and mandatory disclosures pertaining to new policies, renewals, claims and more. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to severe sanctions and financial penalties imposed by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
The majority of the EL insurance providers face a three-fold challenge…
Figure 1: Challenges in ELTO submission
Manual processes to check, validate and upload data to the ELTO server pose a significant challenge to insurance providers. These processes are time-consuming and resource-intensive. Moreover, data inputs acquired from multiple third-party sources often come in varying formats, necessitating the standardization and validation of data according to pre-defined ELTO rules. This iterative process is prone to human error and delays. Furthermore, managing rejected cases requires manual tracking and follow-ups with brokers, underwriters and third parties, increasing operational costs.
EL insurers can overcome these challenges by…
Leveraging WNS’ RegTech app to automate the end-to-end ELTO submission process.

The RegTech app addresses the key challenges / pain points of insurance carriers by facilitating:
- Data Integration: The application accepts data files in multiple semi-structured formats (.csv, .xlsx, .txt and .json) from various databases, ensuring flexibility and compatibility
- Automated Data Validation: Upon file upload, the app automatically executes data validation processes, identifying missing data, errors and other anomalies that require further resolution or human intervention
- Standardized Output Generation: The app auto-generates a standardized .txt output file that adheres to ELTO requirements and submits it to the ELTO server
- Rejected Case Management: In case of rejected files, the app ingests the files, raises support tickets and assigns them to underwriters or third parties for effective exceptions management at source. Once validation errors are rectified, an output file is generated and re-submitted to the ELTO server in consecutive cycles
