By GlobalDataVenkat added: “Digit’s quick quote generation, instant policy issuance and tech-enabled claims assessment will give shopkeepers a seamless experience. Our product offers comprehensive coverage to both inventory and contents of the shop.
“We believe our association with Fino Bank will foster the shopkeepers’ ecosystem and bridge the insurance gap in smaller cities and towns more effectively.”
Based on requirements and through a paperless process, the shopkeepers will have option to directly register under Digit’s My Business Policy (shop insurance policy) in real time.
Fino Payments Bank COO Ashish Ahuja said: “Innovation through partnerships is an integral part of Fino Bank’s ethos. Along with our own products, we bring partner offerings for the benefit of our customers who are largely under banked and do not have access to relevant financial products.
“Digit’s My Business Policy (shop insurance policy) takes forward our already existing association with Digit Insurance and is a step in the right direction to offer financial security to small business owners through our extensive distribution network.”
With a client base of around 4.6 million, Fino Payments Bank also provides group health and motor insurance in alliance with Digit.
