NTUC Income and ZhongAn tie up to develop digital insurance products

They aim to roll out a lifestyle insurance product for the tourism sector by Q2.

Insurer NTUC Income and ZA Tech Global Limited have partnered to launch digital insurance products in Singapore.

ZA Tech is the business entity for overseas technological exports formed by Chinese internet-based insurer ZhongAn Online P&C Insurance

As part of the collaboration, Income will utilise ZhongAn’s technological know-how, to deliver a pipeline of digital insurance products tailored for modern lifestyle needs.

The strategic partnership will be introducing a lifestyle insurance product by Q2 2019 designed for the tourism sector in Singapore. The product aims to protect both residents and tourists in Singapore against contingent events when they visit specific tourist attractions.

“We can now test-bed digital innovation via ZhongAn’s technology platform without causing potential operational burden to the business and this allows us to pivot away from products that get less traction with customers and scale those that resonate better with speed,” said Peter Tay, Income’s chief operating officer.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
