AMTD Digital | AMTDx FWD x REAP launch HK 1st Digital Employee's Comp Insurance

AMTD Digital (through its insurTech arm AMTD InsurTech Group and its subsidiary AMTD Risk Solutions), Asia's one-stop digital solutions platform, has joined hands with REAP Group, a leading no-code, payments and finance management platform for businesses and SMEs, and FWD General Insurance, a leading general insurance company in Hong Kong, to launch Hong Kong's first-ever Digital Employees' Compensation Insurance in history.

A first in Hong Kong, business entities can purchase the government-mandated employee compensation insurance in less than 5 minutes (offered as part of FWD-issued multi-coverage Business Package insurance) via AMTD's designated digital channel partner, REAP's award-winning payment management platform. The entire process from application, quotation to credit card payment is fully digitalized and exclusively brokered by AMTD Risk Solutions Group. This programme is one of the most wide-reaching tailored digital insurance offering for Hong Kong's more than 340,000 small and medium businesses to-date.

The entire experience is fast, smooth, and competitively priced, removing tedious and manual input or back-and-forth emails between applicants, brokers / agents, and insurers. Applicants can complete the process on their phone or laptop, on the spot, pay by credit card, and receive the NI (notice of insurance) automatically.

"We are thrilled to partner with world-class digital finance leaders like FWD General Insurance and REAP. The seamless experience and tailor-made solution for employee compensation insurance - a mandatory insurance for all 340,000+ HK based businesses - is unprecedented and truly ground-breaking. It represents a landmark initiative by AMTD Risk Solutions, our HK licensed insurance brokerage arm, to lead the transformation of the insurance sector into a true-digital age characterized by extreme contextual relevance, premium and cost of risk optimisations, and ultra-efficient matching of insurance capital vs. risks. This is also an important milestone in AMTD Digital's overall vision of delivering one-stop, cross-sectoral digital solutions across Asia." ---- Mr. Kevin Zhang, Executive Director of AMTD InsurTech Group.

“We are excited about this opportunity to collaborate with AMTD Digital and FWD General Insurance as innovative fintech partners. This partnership enables Reap to go beyond our existing finance and payments software solutions and offer our business customers the first digital Employees' Compensation Insurance in Hong Kong. Adding access to digital insurance products for businesses further solidifies our position as an all-in-one financial kit for owners and operators.” ---- Mr. Daren Guo, Co-Founder & CEO of REAP.

"SMEs are vital to our economy as they constitute more than 98% of Hong Kong’s businesses and employ almost half of the workforce in the private sector. We are pleased to be part of this unique tripartite partnership with AMTD and Reap. Together, we believe we will be able to empower Hong Kong SMEs to be better protected with the necessary cover for their valued employees." — Ms. Min-Jie Ye, Head of FWD General Insurance, Hong Kong." ---- Ms. Min-Jie Ye, Head of FWD General Insurance, Hong Kong.
