Singapore FinTech Festival: AIA to showcase its industry-leading digital services innovation

| 05 Nov 2018

Singapore FinTech Festival - the world's largest platform for the global FinTech community is back from 12 to 16 November this year and AIA Singapore will be featuring its industry-leading digital services innovation at the Festival.

The Singapore FinTech Festival last year attracted more than 30,000 attendees from 109 countries and saw some US$2 billion worth of FinTech investments. This year’s Festival is poised to be bigger, better and jammed packed with even more exciting activities.

As a driver for change in the next-generation life insurance industry, AIA Singapore will be at the Festival to demonstrate how it is leveraging technology as part of its roadmap to become the leading digitally-enabled life insurer.

In recent years, it was awarded the Excellence in Distribution Channel Management Award, and Innovation of the Year Award in 2013 for its launch of iPoS, a fully mobile and secured interactive point-of-sales platform, which was a first in the world at that time. In 2015, it augmented iPoS with Singapore insurance industry’s first fully mobile Digital Underwriter, which enabled on-the-spot underwriting decisions. With the Digital Underwriter, AIA Singapore won Innovator of the Year Award for Financial Services Industry.

Ms Melita Teo, Chief Operations Officer, AIA Singapore, said, “Without a doubt, InsurTech has been recognised as a change driver for the financial services industry in recent years. While AIA and the rest of the industry have made progress, there remains some perceptions that insurance companies are racing to keep up with technology to deeply engage and meet the evolving needs of today’s customers who are digitally inclined. And this is why we will be at the Singapore FinTech Festival this year - to showcase our digital servicing solutions and progress made to deepen customer engagement.”

Visitors to AIA’s booth at the Festival can look forward to the insurer’s showcase of the following digital initiatives and tools, including:
