Pre-launch — Modela is preparing to serve its first farmers. Not yet open for cover.
Partner Operating System

Insurance infrastructure for rural finance

Plug Modela into your SACCO, agro-dealer network or digital platform. Enrol members, collect premiums, trigger payouts and support farmer resilience — without taking underwriting risk.

What the partner OS does

From member list to payout in one flow

  1. Enrol members

    Upload or enter your member list; each farmer confirms individually via SMS or USSD.

  2. Collect premiums

    Request M-Pesa payment via STK Push, track reconciliations and send reminders automatically.

  3. Bind cover

    Modela places risk with licensed Kenyan insurers and issues a policy record.

  4. Trigger payout

    When satellite, weather or area-yield data confirms the trigger, payout lands directly in the farmer's M-Pesa wallet.

Why partners say yes

What partners gain

Member retention

Insurance makes your SACCO or cooperative more valuable to members, increasing stickiness and deposits.

Services you can offer

Provide enrolment, premium collection and farmer support services through your existing channel — without taking underwriting risk onto your balance sheet.

De-risked lending

Insured members are better collateral. With consent, verified farm and insurance data strengthens loan eligibility.

Partner questions

What partners ask before signing

Do we take underwriting risk?

No. Modela places risk with licensed Kenyan underwriters. Your organisation earns distribution and servicing fees, not risk exposure.

What does the integration look like?

You can start with a web dashboard and CSV upload, then add our REST API or USSD flow when you are ready. Sandbox access is available on request.

How are fees calculated?

Fees are regulated, documented in your partner agreement and tied to actual enrolment, premium collection and servicing work — no hidden commissions.

How long until our members can enrol?

Once your agreement and data-processing terms are signed, a pilot county can go live in a few weeks. We run a sandbox test first.

Pilot evidence

What we will measure with the first partner cohort

We will publish operating evidence before we publish testimonials. The pilot scorecard is agreed with the partner in advance.
