Headquartered on Vancouver Island, Zycomp‘s Power Broker system is said to be one of Canada’s leading broker platforms, with a market share of 30%.

Theo Duchen, co-CEO of Acturis said: “We have been actively engaged in expanding our footprint beyond the UK, having successfully entered the German market some years ago. We have been interested in the Canadian market for some time, and we believe that the time is perfect for a new entrant to enter the market, with broker interest evident and with a unique opportunity to partner with the best local company in the market – a company with an excellent reputation and solidity which we have admired for some time.

This unique combination will provide brokers with real choice and the best of both worlds: continued support and development of the Power Broker platform, and the ability to transition to the most modern insurance broker SaaS platform in the world which is already going live with its first 2 Canadian brokers.”
