PolicyStreet.com is operated by Polisea Sdn Bhd, an insurance technology company whose mission is to democratize insurance by making it simple, easy and affordable.
This latest service, CTOS Car Insurance, provides a fast, hassle-free opportunity to make price comparisons of policies from more than 10 insurance providers within minutes, allowing consumers to find the best deals in the market. By comparing quotes from a large range of insurers, consumers are able to find savings of up to RM1,000 from their current deals.
The launch of the new service also comes with further added benefits. Consumers who successfully renew or purchase their insurance via the new platform will be able to get a free MyCTOS Score Report to stay on top of their credit health. There will also be further discounts on car insurance quotes based on the value of premiums selected.
“Driving the digital transformation of the nation is one of our key business objectives,” explained Eric Hamburger, Group CEO of CTOS Digital Berhad. “A one-stop centre to get an insurance policy and road tax saves time, provides more choice, and ultimately, allows consumers to make more informed decisions. CTOS Car Insurance reflects how we are focusing our partnership efforts to offer consumers end-end digital solutions in increasingly varied industries. Also, in time, we hope to be able to offer even more value by taking into account credit scores to present consumers better prices, in line with the motor insurance de-tariffication process started by Bank Negara in 2016.”
The phased motor insurance de-tariffication process liberalises the fixed pricing for motor insurance that has been in place in Malaysia for over 30 years and in this new environment, the insurance industry has the flexibility to offer motor insurance with new features at market-based pricing based on the risk behaviour of the policyholders.
This means, in times to come, consumers can benefit from varying coverage limits customised to match individual risk profiles. As is the case in a number of countries around the world, credit scoring plays a part in allowing those with good credit scores to enjoy lower premiums for their car insurance.
“The strategic partnership between CTOS and an insurance technology company is the first of its kind in Malaysia. We are proud to have partnered with CTOS and believe the collaboration will pave way to more innovative, customised and inclusive insurance protection, leveraging on credit scores and big data for all Malaysians,” said Wilson Beh, Co-Founder of PolicyStreet.com
