To fully realize this mission, Clyde is taking ownership of the entire customer journey from contract purchase to claims resolution, and is working with the leading obligors in the product warranty space.

Second, the company’s auto-resolution capabilities provide multiple ways of claim fulfillment. Clyde supports three claim fulfillment methods: reimbursement (via Venmo, PayPal, or check), promo code payout, or product repair or replacement.
