Allied Reinsurance Group cut reinsurance reconciliation from 21 days to 2 and won a $200M treaty with verifiable onchain reporting

A reinsurance carrier was spending three weeks every quarter reconciling ceded premium and claims with 14 ceding companies, each on a different system. A permissioned ledger with verifiable reporting collapsed reconciliation, eliminated $1.4M in annual dispute leakage, and won a $200M treaty because the cedent could verify the books in real time.

/ The challenge

Where they started

Allied Reinsurance Group wrote $1.8B in treaty business across 14 ceding companies, and every quarter was a reconciliation fire drill. Each cedent reported ceded premium, claims, and bordereaux on their own template, in their own format, often 10 days late. Allied's 6-person accounting team spent 21 days matching figures, and an average of $1.4M a year leaked through in disputes that were never resolved because neither side could prove the underlying numbers. A prospective $200M property treaty had stalled for two quarters because the cedent — a European carrier with strict Solvency II reporting — couldn't get the real-time visibility into ceded exposure their regulators required.

/ The solution

What we built

We deployed a permissioned ledger platform on our Blockchain & Web3 stack that anchors every ceded premium, claim, and bordereaux entry to an immutable, tamper-evident trail shared between Allied and each cedent. Verifiable credentials let cedents and their auditors verify exposure, bordereaux, and settlements in real time without exposing underlying policy data. A real-time reinsurance dashboard gives Allied's accounting team a live view of every treaty, every cedent, and every pending reconciliation item. Regulators and cedent auditors get a read-only portal that answers their questions in minutes. The platform went live across all 14 cedents in 16 weeks.

We spent three weeks a quarter arguing about numbers neither side could prove. Now both sides look at the same ledger and the argument is over before it starts. The $200M treaty came down to one thing — the cedent could verify our books in real time, and our competitors couldn't.
