Insurance company Tokio Marine Insurans (Malaysia) Berhad has partnered with Malaysia-based fintech Finology and logistic solution provider KirimMan to roll out affordable insurance products for gig economy workers in Malaysia with a focus on delivery riders.
The new product, offered to gig workers as affordable protection against accidents while on the job, is priced as low as RM1 per day and covers accidental death or permanent disablement, medical expenses due to accidents, and ambulance fees.
Speaking on this, Ng Hang Ming, Chief Executive Officer at Tokio Marine, expressed that this new offering is a “reflection of the company’s commitment to providing affordable insurance solutions to all Malaysians, regardless of their occupation or income level.”
