No one can neglect the rapid emergence of e-commerce in Singapore. We now order cabs and taxis via an app and compare the rates by having multiple apps open. Whenever we do not have the energy to go to a mall or hawker centre, there are multiple apps that let us order food within the comfort of our home. When we don’t have time to stop for groceries, we can order it while on our daily commute and it might be delivered as early as later on that same day. Who goes to a travel agent nowadays when you can compare everything online and buy it directly?
The way you buy services is changing
I hear you thinking… But these are consumer products and services. That is true! Banks are also moving into the digital space with apps and mobile banking. Have you seen the queues at a bank? Most things you can arrange via internet-banking. Most people are more than happy to select and pre-order their movie tickets online and by-pass long queues. Do you still buy CDs or DVDs? Or would you rather listen to an almost endless library of music or (binge) watch TV-series and movies whenever you want?
What has this to do with my Personal Insurance?
How do you get your Home Insurance or Travel Insurance? Most people know an insurance agent who can help them out with that. Usually that seems to works out fine because they offer you a limited choice between up to 3 different insurance companies.
Choice is good because you get to select what is best for you. Usually we go for the number 1 recommendation by our agent, right? Because (s)he is the expert, right? However, because the agent gets a commission based on every policy (s)he sells and an extra commission if (s)he reaches a certain sales level there is always a temptation for your agent to recommend you the policy (s)he makes the most commission on. And you were under the impression (s)he recommends the policy that suits your situation the best?
How often do you really challenge your agent? You probably do not really know what you are buying and you trust your agent? Do you know what is and isn’t covered? These are important questions because it determines whenever something happens you actually can get to use your Insurance Policy and claim back money. Not taking an interest yourself is convenient, but a gamble. A gamble that you are not adequately covered and a gamble that you are paying too much.
Compare and buy personal insurance online
Going on holiday and comparing hotel rooms or airline tickets is cool. Even, comparing different credit-cards on discounts and cash backs is a pleasurable thing to do. Comparing insurance might not be the most exciting thing to do. But, there will be times when you are happy that you put a little effort in comparing insurance policies. Especially, for the moments when there is a crisis you and you get the help you need and there are no hidden surprises or worse.

- Travel Insurance: plans for single trips such as holiday and also annual plans for the frequent travellers.
- Home Insurance: we have plans for owners of HBD, Condo and landed houses and also for the renters. For renters, usually a Home Contents plan will suffice.
- Pet Insurance: is only available for cats and dogs. Do note, for quite a few dogs, Pet Insurance is mandatory. It makes a lot of sense to take out a plan since vet-bills can become high quite quickly.
