The Starter COI Tracker is a lightweight version of its compliance automation platform, designed for businesses that need a faster way to collect and organize COIs without manual follow-ups or fragmented communication.

It centralizes document uploads and verification in one shared dashboard, allowing users to collect COIs from vendors, view statuses in real time, and stay ahead of renewal gaps.

Moreover, the interface prioritizes ease of use. Even non-technical staff can upload, review, and track certificates in minutes.

At the same time, built-in reminders help reduce delays and prevent overlooking expired documentation.

This tool offers value to small teams that want to stay organized and avoid compliance issues, especially when managing multiple third-party relationships.

TrustLayer has also implemented data security standards that align with its enterprise-grade platform. While the Starter version is free, it retains the same privacy controls to ensure sensitive insurance information stays protected.

In addition, TrustLayer will collect user feedback in the following months to guide future updates to the COI Tracker. Input from early adopters will inform improvements, feature additions, and workflow adjustments.

This collaboration marks a shift away from paper-based certificates and gives Nationwide policyholders the ability to validate coverage details in real time through TrustLayer’s platform.

The integration allows TrustLayer users, whether businesses or brokers, to confirm that a Nationwide policyholder meets specific contractual insurance terms.

This on-demand verification helps reduce document fraud and improves the accuracy of data used during underwriting and claims review.

Nationwide has already laid the groundwork for this advancement. In 2023, the insurer released the first commercial lines insurance verification API.

It connects directly to policy administration systems, delivering verified policy data without manual back-and-forth. With TrustLayer’s adoption of this interface, this functionality becomes available across more use cases.

Furthermore, TrustLayer’s existing traction made this collaboration a logical step. Its platform already supports verification across multiple industries, and this partnership enhances its ability to confirm coverage without delays or errors.

Together, Nationwide and TrustLayer are replacing outdated workflows with a method that gives brokers and risk teams faster access to verified insurance status.
