“Can an AI-native insurance platform let any brand become an insurance company on top of carrier paper?”
Founded 2015 as an embedded insurance platform letting brands offer policies via APIs and white-label experiences (Connect). By 2025-2026 Sure repositioned as 'the AI layer for insurance,' bundling AI-native modules across the full insurance lifecycle. Sure remains a software vendor — not a carrier — with policies written on partner carrier paper (e.g. Assurant for renters insurance) and brokered through its licensed agencies.
Sure processes payments through Sure Payments AI (self-operated).
Sure runs its ledger on Sure Payments AI ledger (in-house).
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 2 layers in Sure's stack: Payments / PSP (Sure Payments AI (self-operated)); Ledger (Sure Payments AI ledger (in-house)).
Sure is founded in 2015 and headquartered in New York, NY.
