Munich Re EDI and data integration
A guide to exchanging bordereaux, claim and accounting data with Munich Re: company facts from its website, what reinsurers typically exchange, and what to confirm before setup.
Overview
Understanding Munich Re integration
Who this is for: Insurers that cede business, brokers, managing general agents and finance teams that exchange data with Munich Re.
Munich Re is a global provider of reinsurance, primary insurance and insurance-related risk solutions. Its website is munichre.com. It is also searched for as Munich Reinsurance.
This page is an integration guide. It uses the public pages and documents of Munich Re 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 Munich Re 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 Munich Re's own pages say: Munich Re's U.S. non-life client portal offers secure project rooms for real-time electronic data exchange and document management. The page does not say that bordereaux or an EDI standard are exchanged there.
Reinsurers and the insurers that cede business to them exchange premium and loss reports, often called bordereaux, claims data and accounting statements. These move as spreadsheets, agreed flat files, XML or portal uploads, and the layouts differ by treaty 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 Munich Re's own pages is general practice, not Munich Re's published requirement; confirm each point with Munich Re before you build maps or test.

General guidance
Network or clearinghouse

General guidance

General guidance
Challenges
Common integration challenges
A layout per treaty
Bordereaux and claim files differ by treaty and partner, so one source record is mapped separately for each.
Spreadsheets and portals
Many exchanges still run as spreadsheets and portal uploads, which need validation before they reach accounting systems.
Reconciliation
Premium, loss and settlement records must agree between the cedent and the reinsurer, or the gaps surface as disputes at period end.
Confirm the current requirements
Document sets, versions and delivery rules change, and they come from Munich Re directly, so confirm the current ones before building maps or testing.
