SafeCharge and Visa Direct recently partnered to power faster insurance payouts for insurtech Setoo. SafeCharge focuses on making meaningful payment innovation available as fast as possible. In addition, Visa Direct can be used for more efficient payments across a number of use cases, including cross-border payments and insurance disbursements. Setoo is one of the first insurtechs to implement this technology. The merchant sends the payment instructions to SafeCharge, SafeCharge sends a single authorisation and a clearing message to Visa, and the issuer posts funds to the cardholder account on receipt of authorisation.

Setoo 's model uses SafeCharge and machine learning to determine pricing in real time, allowing for bespoke premiums to be calculated for each policy according to weather predictions.
