Bear Essentials On GoBear

On May 5, 2016, GoBear launched their website to help Malaysians tackle the confusing morass of insurance and credit card offerings in Malaysia. The GoBear website aims to summarise the confusing features and limitations of all those offerings to give you nothing but the “bear essentials”. This will allow you to easily compare their features and limitations, so you can make the best financial decisions for your family.

In this video, GoBear CEO Andre Hesselink explains the motivation behind GoBear and how they avoid being biased in their recommendations.

 Then it’s time for GoBear to break out of its prison!

 Now, Iskandar Ezzahuddin, GoBear Country Director (Malaysia), explains how the GoBear website works its magic.

Their aim is, ultimately, to clarify the confusing insurance and credit card market for the consumer. Their partners, on the other hand, benefit by receiving customers that are already aware about what they are buying. [adrotate banner=”5″]
