You Can Now Buy AIG Insurance Coverage On Lazada!

Buy AIG Insurance Coverage On Lazada

Customers who shop on Lazada Malaysia can now purchase Travel, Snatch Theft and Personal Accident (Active Lifestyle Care) coverage via the ‘freestanding’ AIG shop-front. The premiums on these AIG insurance coverages will be priced between RM 8 to RM 115.

Malaysia’s general insurance penetration level, measured in terms of premiums as a share of GDP, stands at less than 2% as compared to 3-4% in more developed markets. Recognising that the population remains largely uninsured, the partnership seeks to continue expanding the reach and penetration of insurance in the country, further generating more awareness among consumers.

“Enabling opportunities in the digital and direct channels for the purchase of insurance will be able to improve transparency and enable easier product comparisons, further ensuring that our customers are well-informed about the right products that suit their needs. We continuously invest to provide services that create a more engaging customer experience, and ultimately, better serve the needs of Malaysians. This collaboration is timely and helps prepare Malaysians to take a better charge of their future,” said Hans-Peter Ressel, Chief Executive Officer of Lazada Malaysia.

According to Antony Lee, AIG Malaysia’s Chief Executive Officer, the partnership is another milestone for AIG Malaysia to reach out to a very underinsured segment of the market that favours the convenience of purchasing on digital platforms. These AIG insurance products are specifically tailored for this market at competitive premium prices.

“Lazada not only presents a compelling retail presence, but also offers a strong online platform that enables AIG Malaysia to offer the relevant products to the right customers at the right time, and for the right reasons. With some 50 per cent of Lazada’s customers aged between 26 and 35 years – well within AIG’s target customer segments – the partnership will provide us with the opportunity to better understand our customers’ needs and to continuously match them with the right insurance solutions.”

Last Day To Enjoy The Lazada 5th Birthday Surprise!

The Lazada 5th Birthday Celebration

Earlier this week, Lazada officially celebrated their 5th birthday with their key partners. They also took the opportunity to reveal their plans to catalyse their e-commerce growth.

Hans-Peter Ressel, Chief Executive Officer of Lazada Malaysia, said, “Our first five years was about building the fundamentals of e-commerce, the next five will be transforming into a self-sustaining platform empowering entrepreneurs to serve the needs of Malaysians better.” He added, “With the increasing sophistication of consumers, Lazada endeavours to provide Malaysian businesses the tools and services required to create a more engaging customer experience, thus, accelerating their business growth.”

As of January 2017, e-commerce has already contributed 5.8% to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and is expected to grow 24% per year by 2022. Growth will be driven by the next generation of shoppers, also known as Generation Z, (those born in the mid to late 1990s) who will represent 40% of consumers by 2020. This savvy, younger group of shoppers expect e-commerce to be fast, intuitive, and engaging.

Hans-Peter added, “To keep up with the needs of these new consumers, Lazada is investing heavily in equipping sellers with world class logistics solutions as well as tools in marketing, content management, end-to-end e-commerce services. This will in return increase personalisation, shipping options and social engagement – exciting and delighting consumers further.”

Lazada expects this investment to translate to the creation of new jobs, and the emergence of many more ecosystem entrepreneurs in the field of logistics, digital marketing, technical development and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) solutions. These “knowledge workers” with new specialised skills will play a pivotal role, creating more opportunities and growth for Malaysians.
