This reduction in friction in the purchase process is expected to boost uptake potential.
Secondly, the partnership offers flexible payment options, allowing customers to split insurance premiums into manageable monthly payments. This makes insurance more affordable and appealing, particularly to younger, digital-first users like millennials and Gen Z.
Thirdly, the partnership exemplifies the UAE’s fintech and insurtech innovation trends by combining banking and insurance into one seamless customer journey, supporting government objectives to drive financial sector innovation and a user-centric experience.
