Wallet-Native Insurance & the Agentic Frontier: Sabine VanderLinden with Mark Lampe & Ernesto Suarez

August 28, 2026

Insurance has invested heavily in digital transformation, yet many customers still experience frustration when they need their insurer most. While the industry has become increasingly effective at selling policies, the post-sale experience often remains fragmented, reactive and disconnected from customers’ everyday lives.

In this video excerpt from episode 227 of Scouting For Growth, Sabine VanderLinden is joined by Mark Lampe, CEO and Co-founder of Miss Moneypenny Technologies and Ernesto Suarez, CEO at Gigasure, to explore why meaningful customer experience is built on trust, continuous engagement and simplicity – not just better technology. Together, they discuss how digital-first experiences, mobile wallet technology and proactive communication can help insurers strengthen customer relationships long before a claim ever occurs.

Drawing on their experience, Mark and Ernesto explain why insurers need to think beyond individual touchpoints and instead create connected experiences that make insurance more visible, accessible and valuable throughout the customer journey.

Sabine, Mark and Ernesto discuss:

  • Why the insurance industry’s biggest customer experience challenge isn’t buying a policy – it’s what happens after the sale.
  • How trust is built through continuous, meaningful engagement rather than isolated moments of interaction, such as renewals or claims.
  • Why insurers must move beyond standalone digital tools and adopt a holistic view of the entire customer lifecycle.
  • How digital wallet technology can simplify claims, improve policy accessibility and create more proactive customer experiences.
  • Why understanding customer behaviour and designing around real-world needs is essential for increasing engagement, loyalty and long-term retention.

As customer expectations continue to evolve, insurers have an opportunity to transform every interaction into a moment that strengthens trust rather than tests it. This conversation explores how combining customer-centric design with digital innovation can help create more connected, transparent and resilient insurance experiences.
