important role technology plays in making that happen, as well as widening the
scope of our offering to underserved markets.
Presently, our websites offer a web app feature that allows
customers to buy and pay for policies in just five minutes and request for
claims within 24 hours. This, we believe, is the ease customers truly deserve
and we are glad to be pioneering that”.
