New survey also highlights willingness to share personal to receive more personalized insurance experiences or premiums
SINGAPORE, September 21, 2021 – Singapore consumers are looking for a better digital experience from their insurers, according to a new survey from Capco, the global technology and management consultancy. No matter where insurance was purchased, when buying online 77% of current policy-owning respondents wanted to see improvements.
The survey found that 81% of policyholders would use an app that offers better visibility of all their financial products and provides personalized insights. 77% of policyholders also said they would share personal data in exchange for a more tailored product or premium.
Capco, a global technology and management consultancy, surveyed just over 1000 Singapore consumers to gauge their impressions of insurance products and providers to capture public attitudes toward consumer insurance, the key products and services used, and emerging trends. The results form part of a larger survey of some 14,000 consumers across 13 markets globally.
Additional findings to emerge from the Singapore survey include:
The preferred methods of sharing personal data varied across generations.
Post-pandemic, respondents are looking for enhanced cover
The most purchased insurance types vary across the generations
Emma Yang, APAC Insurance Lead at Capco, said:
“Our survey reveals that Singapore policyholders place value for money and a policy’s ability meet their needs as the top decision factors when buying insurance. We believe insurers have an opportunity to further enhance the value and suitability of their offerings by developing exciting new digital propositions, such as app-based experiences that are closely attuned to the needs of the user. The sharing of personal data could help insurers design better insurance products that are more tailored to the needs of consumers.”
