Major property and casualty (P&C) insurer Chubb has teamed up with insurtech start-up Qikio.
The deal will see Qikio offer contents insurance – underwritten by Chubb – on its website. The new offering was developed with customers' experience in mind and includes instalment payment options, a simplified digital claims lodgement experience, and Chubb's dedicated customer service.
Peter Kelaher, country president for Australia and New Zealand at Chubb, said the deal “represents Chubb's first digital collaboration with an insurtech in Australia.”
“We're delighted to be working with Qikio to offer a digital contents insurance solution to a targeted segment of the Australian market,” he said. “We're pleased to be working with Qikio, combining their experience and customer-focused digital technology with Chubb's underwriting and claims handling expertise.”
Qikio co-CEO Andrew Carey said: “Qikio's value proposition is about offering seamless digital customer journeys that leverage customer data to deliver smart and convenient insurance solutions for consumers.
“Through our distribution arrangement with Chubb, we look forward to continuing to work together to shape a customer experience for Australians which is increasingly innovative, simple, and convenient.”
The collaboration follows BizCover's move to expand its small business insurance offering by teaming up with Chubb.
