What BOMAPP does
Bomapp (보맵) is a Seoul-based Korean InsurTech founded in 2015 that operates a consumer mobile platform for insurance management, coverage analysis, and claims automation. Its flagship app aggregates a user's insurance contracts via Korea's MyData infrastructure, drawing data directly from 30+ Korean life and non-life insurers rather than relying on credit-bureau scraping, and applies a proprietary coverage-analysis algorithm (보장핏팅) — backed by an internal Big Data Lab of public-data benchmarks — to score whether the user is under-, adequately, or over-insured across categories including real-loss medical, cancer, brain/heart, death, and dental insurance. The platform also offers a photo- and document-less Easy Claim (간편청구) workflow covering 38+ insurers via G-Net, and a Health Analysis (건강분석) feature that derives biological age, organ-specific ages, and 10-year disease risk from National Health Insurance Corporation checkup data combined with family history.
Bomapp monetizes through insurance brokerage commissions on policies sold via its self-serve app, its wholly-owned digital GA subsidiary BomappPartner (salaried planners), and embedded channels such as KB Kookmin Card's MyData 'Livemate' app; secondary revenue comes from B2B platform fees, licensed personal credit-information transmission services, and corporate data-sharing arrangements (e.g., with Ez Financial Services). The company was the first InsurTech in Korea to obtain a MyData business license, had passed both the Financial Security Institute's MyData suitability assessment and a security vulnerability check, and reports 2.2M+ members as of mid-2020. Bomapp has raised roughly USD 20M+ across disclosed rounds (2017-2022) led by financial and venture investors including Hana Capital, KB Investment, Lotte Ventures, and Ez Financial Services, and continues to expand equity capital through ongoing paid-in capital increases into 2025.

Revenue model
- Insurance Commission / Brokerage Revenue: Bomapp earns commission by brokering insurance contracts from partner insurance companies (삼성화재, 에이스아메리칸, KB손해보험, ABL생명, AIA생명, AIG손해보험, DB생명, 라이나생명, 메리츠화재, 한화손해보험, etc.) to users of its platform. As a licensed MyData business and insurance broker, revenue is realized at the point of policy binding, whether via the self-serve app, the digital GA subsidiary BomappPartner, or channel partners.
- B2B / Channel Service Fees (KB Kookmin Card partnership): Bomapp provides its coverage analysis (보장핏팅) service to KB Kookmin Card's MyData platform 'Livemate' (리브메이트), generating B2B revenue from the platform partner for embedding and operating the insurance analysis service within KB's app.
- Data Processing / Personal Credit Information Transmission Services: As a licensed MyData (본인신용정보관리회사) business, Bomapp provides personal credit information transmission services to third parties (e.g., 에즈금융서비스, 피플라이프) under formal data-sharing agreements, generating revenue from these licensed data services.
- Commission from Digital GA Subsidiary (BomappPartner): Revenue is generated through BomappPartner (법인보험대리점 / digital GA), a wholly-owned subsidiary, which sells insurance policies from partner insurers through salaried planners. Bomapp earns insurance commission from policies sold through BomappPartner.

BOMAPP product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Bomapp is a Korean InsurTech company that operates a MyData-based digital insurance platform combining a consumer mobile app (iOS/Android), proprietary AI-driven coverage analysis (Bojang Fitting), and a wholly-owned digital general agency subsidiary (Bomapp Partner). The platform ingests users' insurance contract, auto-insurance, loan, and IRP data directly from 30+ Korean insurers via licensed MyData transmission, then delivers algorithm-based coverage recommendations across real-loss medical, cancer, brain/heart, death, and dental insurance categories.
Product overview
Bomapp (보맵, BOMAPP Inc.) is a single integrated digital insurance platform delivered primarily through the Bomapp App (mobile) and a partner GA channel (Bomapp Partner), rather than a multi-product SaaS suite. The Bomapp App is the unified front door through which every other product, feature, and content surface is consumed: users authenticate, sync their policies via My Insurance Sync / Auto Insurance Sync, run an AI-driven coverage analysis through Bojang Fitting (보장핏팅) — which can be augmented with Health Analysis (건강분석) for disease-risk input — and then act on the analysis by filing a claim through Easy Claim (간편청구) or being routed to a human planner at Bomapp Partner. The data layer beneath all of this is the Bomapp MyData Service (마이데이터 서비스), a licensed Korean MyData operator service that retrieves insurance, auto-insurance, loan, and individual-IRP data directly from carriers; the data is processed via trustee partners (Infobank, Channel Corporation, GNET, Cucon) and is what feeds the AI/recommendation and predictive-health models. Marketing and education surfaces — the Bomapp Blog and the 'Letter B' email newsletter — round out the offering. Customers can also access Bojang Fitting through KB Kookmin Card's MyData 'Livemate' app under BOMAPP's MyData service partnership with KB.

Bomapp is also listed in KB Kookmin Card's MyData integration scope (한국신용정보원) in its privacy policy.
- AXA General Insurance (악사손해보험) and Korea Tennis Association (대한테니스협회)core3-way MOU to support insurance for Korean national adult and junior tennis players, who face high injury risk. Bomapp sponsors one year of coverage. Coverage includes 교통상해사망후유장해, 일반상해사망후유장해, 일반상해골절화상진단, 일반상해골절화상수술, 일반상해입원일당.

Bomapp plans further startup-dedicated group accident insurance and ransomware coverage products with similar partners.
- (주)지앤넷 (G.Net)coreMedical information transmission platform partnership.
