US-based underwriter Fidelity National Financial (FNF) has acquired Digital Insurance, which provides health insurance distribution and benefits management for small and mid-sized businesses, for an undisclosed amount.

Commenting on the deal, Fidelity National Financial chief executive officer George Scanlon said that Digital Insurance operates in a fragmented market with significant organic growth and consolidation potential.

"Digital has a unique business model and provides FNF with a growth opportunity in an industry undergoing major change," Scanlon added.
