description: 'The Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company, founded in 1896 in Wawanesa, Manitoba and headquartered in Winnipeg,
  is one of Canada''s largest property and casualty mutual insurers, writing auto, home, condo, tenant, seasonal residence,
  farm and commercial lines across every province and territory through a 100% independent broker distribution model, alongside
  its wholly-owned life and group subsidiary Wawanesa Life. Wawanesa runs its policy, claims and billing on Guidewire InsuranceSuite
  following a roughly $300 million Strategic Systems Renewal that made it one of the first Canadian insurers to put its entire
  product suite online, and it has announced a broker-facing API programme — most notably a Commercial Small Business API
  aligned to CSIO data standards that supports real-time rating, quoting and binding — plus CSIO My Proof of Insurance electronic
  pink slips. None of that surface is public: Wawanesa publishes no developer portal, no API reference, no OpenAPI, and no
  self-serve signup. Probes of developer./developers./docs. wawanesa.com do not resolve, api.wawanesa.com answers 403 at the
  root, and the only integration path is the Salesforce-based Broker Platform behind an Okta login with onboarding brokered
  by a Wawanesa Business Development representative. Canada has no open-insurance mandate — Consumer-Driven Banking excludes
  insurance outright — so the connectivity layer here is CSIO, not ACORD, and the honest posture is partner-gated with no
  public API. What Wawanesa does publish is certification: it holds CSIO''s API Security Standards Certification (2024-10-29),
  was the first CSIO member certified in JSON API Standards for Billing (2025-02-05), was the first insurer to attain Claims
  eDocs Certification (2022-04-04), and contributed nine reusable API packages — Quote, New Business, Policy Inquiry, Policy
  Update List, Policy Cancellation, Risk Appetite, Required Fields, Billing Inquiry and eDocs — to CSIO''s Reusable Services
  Library for other carriers and BMS vendors to implement.'

  name: Wawanesa Commercial Small Business API
  description: Broker-facing commercial small business API announced by Wawanesa on 2022-03-30, built with HUB International
    and described by Wawanesa as "fully aligned with CSIO data standards". Per the company announcement it lets brokers connect
    their information systems to Wawanesa for real-time risk rating, quoting and binding, with tailored packages for Business
    & Professional Services, Retail Services and Contractors. There is no public developer portal, no published API reference,
    no OpenAPI definition and no documented base URL; the announcement directs brokers to "contact their Wawanesa Business
    Development representative" to integrate. Listed here because Wawanesa attests to it in a first-party press release, and
    recorded honestly as partner-gated and undocumented.
