E-scooter firm Beam to provide insurance for riders

Riders in Malaysia, Singapore and New Zealand can access protection against accidents.

Singapore-based e-scooter firm Beam has partnered with global professional services firm Aon plc (Aon) to launch its new multi-market rider protection programme for the micro-mobility sharing services sector in the Asia-Pacific.

Beam will provide personal accident insurance coverage through a programme for all eligible Beam riders in Malaysia, Singapore and New Zealand placed by Aon.

Although the insurance will be subject to local regulations and jurisdiction, all eligible Beam riders in Australia placed by Marsh will also be covered.

“Aon is committed to supporting the growth of Asian start-ups as the dynamic tech and ride sharing sector continues to develop in the region,” Stratos Hatzipanis, regional director, Affinity, Aon said.

“At the forefront of Beam’s vision to change the way people move is the fundamental belief that every trip must have a focus on safety,” said Christopher Hilton, vice president, corporate affairs, Beam Mobility. “This is an important step in realising our commitment to safety, and ensuring that our riders have protection and peace of mind when using our services.

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.
