R+V insurance cards on phone - July 2022

Thanks to digital wallet technology, member policyholders of German ICMIF member R+V Versicherung (R+V) can easily find and use proof of insurance on their smartphones.

After a car accident or damage, it is important to exchange insurance data with the other party involved in the accident so that the claim can be settled. Thanks to the R+V digital car insurance card, member policyholders with motor vehicle insurance from R+V can now use this convenient service to quickly and easily transmit the most important details to those who need it.

In order to be able to use the service, the customer receives an e-mail from R+V Versicherung with a download link, which they can use to download the insurance card as a wallet pass and save it on their smartphone. With iPhones, the card is in the Apple Wallet, with Android devices in the Google Wallet.

The advantages of the digital car insurance card are:

  • The card contains all the important car insurance data
  • Fast and unproblematic exchange of data with the other party involved in the accident by using a QR code
  • For quick and easy contact with R+V there are the necessary telephone numbers,
  • E-mail addresses, online damage report and link to “My R+V” stored in the wallet
  • The card can be stored on multiple smartphones, so all vehicle users can use the card
  • Updates are displayed and current information is made available by means of push notifications

The insurance card was developed by R+V together with the start-up Miss Moneypenny Technologies.

With more than 8.9 million customers, R+V Versicherung is one of the largest insurers in Germany and the third largest motor vehicle insurer nationwide. As part of the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken cooperative financial network, R+V offers its customers tailor-made, innovative insurance solutions.
