WeSure Platform to Offer Digital Insurance to Chinese Travelers

Global Life and Health insurer MetLife and WeSure, digital insurance provider owned by Tencent, today announced a partnership to offer insurance solutions to travellers through Tencent’s WeSure online insurance platform.

This alliance will integrate users on Tencent’s mobile social communications platform, WeChat, with MetLife’s global expertise in life and health protection solutions.

The collaboration will cover fields such as big-data analysis, tailor-made and intelligent value-added services to deliver end-to-end protection solutions for Chinese travellers.

MetLife has been accelerating its digital footprint through collaboration with well-established online platforms in China to develop new products and services.

According to the company, this partnership underlines MetLife’s determination to improve customer experience through omnichannel options in the digital age.

“MetLife China is dedicated to providing life and health protections through career agency, telemarketing and digital channels and bank partners. The partnership with WeSure is our answer to customers’ needs for simpler, more transparent, fast, and convenient experiences in the digital era,” said Siyi Sun, CEO of MetLife China.

The partnership’s first solution is an aviation accident insurance product which will be provided on the WeSure platform and focus on an optimized customer experience, protection level and price.

According to the Annual Report of China Domestic Tourism Development 2017, the number of domestic travelers in China reached 4.5 billion in 2016, with a steady year-on-year growth of 15%.

The simple, cost-effective solution is a truly differentiated offering in the travel accident insurance segment.

Alan Lau, Chairman and CEO of WeSure, said “WeSure would like to connect insurance company and end users. On the one hand, we collaborate with leading insurance companies to develop competitive products and make it simple for users to find quality products. On the other hand, by serving the user via Tencent’s WeChat now and QQ platform in future, we are to deliver more user-driven products and services.”

Since entering the market in 2004, MetLife China says it has been committed to providing long-term protection products for customers while operating its business according to strict corporate governance and robust risk management systems.
