Insurance integration
Markel Group EDI and data integration
A guide to exchanging policy, bordereaux, claim and payment data with Markel Group: company facts from its website, what specialty insurers typically exchange, and what to confirm before setup.
Overview
Understanding Markel Group integration
Who this is for: Managing general agents, brokers, wholesalers, administrators, reinsurers and finance teams that exchange data with Markel Group.
Markel provides specialty insurance coverage for many types of risk in the U.S. and around the world. Its website is markel.com.
This page is an integration guide. It uses the public pages and documents of Markel Group that are listed under Sources, which we read on November 10, 2026 and summarize in our own words; it does not reproduce them, and no private specification was used. Connection requirements usually come from Markel Group itself, through its onboarding team, its companion guides or its partner portal, and they can differ by line of business, program, state and region.
What Markel Group's own pages say: Markel announced a partnership with Verodat so that Markel can collect, process and analyze non-standardized bordereaux data from delegated partners.
Specialty insurers work through brokers, wholesalers and managing general agents, and exchange policy, premium and loss reports, often called bordereaux, claims data and payments with them and with reinsurers. These move as ACORD data, XML, agreed flat files, spreadsheets or portal uploads, and the layouts differ by program and by partner. ECOM can read and integrate ACORD data; the formats and versions a partner uses are confirmed during scoping. Everything on this page that is not attributed to Markel Group's own pages is general practice, not Markel Group's published requirement; confirm each point with Markel Group before you build maps or test.

General guidance
Challenges
Common integration challenges
A layout per program
Bordereaux and policy files differ by program and partner, so one source record is mapped separately for each.
Specifications by request
Format specifications usually reach you through the insurer or through ACORD membership rather than a public download, so scoping starts by collecting them.
Reconciliation
Premium, loss and payment records must agree between partners, or the gaps surface as disputes at period end.
Confirm the current requirements
Document sets, versions and delivery rules change, and they come from Markel Group directly, so confirm the current ones before building maps or testing.

Typical requirements
Which Markel Group exchange applies to you
Typical requirements—confirm with your trading partner. This section is general practice for this type of insurer, not requirements published by Markel Group. This guide does not imply approval, certification or a partnership.
Programs, brokers and bordereaux
Specialty business is usually organized by program. Managing general agents and brokers report premium and losses, often as bordereaux, on a schedule agreed for each program. Layouts can differ by program and partner.
Claims and payments
Claim notices and payments are exchanged separately from premium reporting, and payments usually move as bank files that must match the reports.
Regions, states and affiliates
Markel Group may operate through different legal entities, states and regions. Requirements, contacts and connection methods can differ by entity, state, region, line of business and program, so confirm which Markel Group entity and region applies to you before you build or test.
Typical onboarding checklist
- Confirm the entity, program and region you report under.
- Ask for the reporting layout, schedule and any validation rules.
- Agree how files are delivered and who receives them.
- Map your policy and loss data to the layout.
- Test with sample files and review rejected records.
- Reconcile premium, losses and payments each period.
