Citing the rising smartphone penetration in Vietnam, Tokio Marine stated that the app can be used as a platform to offer employees access to insurance cover.
With the county’s public medical insurance still under development and a 70% co-payment rate for medical treatments at non-designated hospitals, demand for private medical insurance is rising.
Leveraging Tokio Marine’s expertise in online insurance sales in Japan, the app is said to offer paperless, cashless, and contactless insurance cover.
Employees can buy private medical insurance through the app, which also offers personal accident insurance, automobile insurance and personal liability insurance.
