Best Insurance BPO Providers in 2025: Complete Comparison
Insurance BPO has changed dramatically over the past decade. Once dominated by offshore staffing models like Patra and ResourcePro, today’s leaders require more: automation, real-time system integration, and outcome-based billing. This blog reviews the top competitors – Patra, ResourcePro, OIP, Flatworld/WNS – and explains why Selectsys is increasingly the provider of choice for MGAs, carriers, and wholesalers.
Patra: Offshore Scale with Seat-Based Billing
- Patra has long been recognized as a major offshore insurance BPO provider.
- Their model relies on large offshore teams executing tasks such as COIs, endorsements, and renewals.
- Clients supply SOPs and manage offshore staff.
- Billing is per FTE, which means clients pay even during downtime.
Key Limitation: Patra delivers scale but not automation. Clients often face idle billing and productivity challenges.
ResourcePro: Offshore Staffing with Client-Led Oversight
- ResourcePro provides large pools of offshore staff across insurance functions.
- Requires heavy client-side training and SOP creation.
- Charges are tied to headcount, not outcomes.
Key Limitation: ResourcePro is reliable for staffing but lacks automation and outcome-based billing.
OIP: Marketing AI, Delivering Staffing
- OIP positions itself as an “AI-assisted insurtech BPO.”
- In practice, tasks are still performed by assistant underwriters offshore.
- Billing continues during staff downtime or sick leave.
- Limited system integration; often relies on trackers or offline workflows.
Key Limitation: Branding emphasizes AI, but execution is staff-heavy and billing is seat-based.
Flatworld/WNS: Generalist Outsourcing
- Flatworld and WNS are global BPOs that span industries beyond insurance.
- Insurance is one of many verticals, meaning teams are often cross-trained.
- Execution relies on external trackers, not embedded AMS integration.
Key Limitation: Not purpose-built for insurance; better suited for generic back-office tasks.
