Background of the Study
Blockchain technology, known for its decentralized and secure nature, has the potential to revolutionize the way financial transactions are conducted and recorded, offering transparency and reducing fraud (Hassan & Sulaimon, 2023). In the insurance sector, where the management of claims, underwriting processes, and policyholder data requires high levels of transparency, blockchain technology can provide a secure and immutable ledger that ensures accountability.
Insurance companies in Benue State have begun to explore the role of blockchain in enhancing financial transparency, improving customer trust, and streamlining operations. However, the adoption of blockchain in the financial sector is still in its infancy, and there is a need to evaluate its impact on improving transparency within insurance companies. This study aims to explore how blockchain technology can be utilized by insurance companies in Benue State to enhance financial transparency and reduce fraudulent activities.
