Co-created with ZA, a leading FinTech and InsurTech brand in Asia, the product, named ZA Bill Insurance, is designed to offer customers worldwide coverage against unforeseen circumstances and challenges. The two variations – Basic Plan (Accident Only) and Comprehensive Plan (Accident & Sickness) – with different tiers of Utility Benefit allow customers to personalise their protection based on their own risk levels. With an affordable premium as low as HK$18 per year, this plan will give customers a coverage of up to HK$7,200 worth of benefits.

“Flexible working such as freelance and self-employment has been a growing trend over the past years and as a result, we have observed an increasing demand for protection against sudden and unforeseeable difficulties for this group of people. As they are not under any continuous contract of employment, their income will cease if they cannot work due to hospitalisation, and it becomes difficult to keep up with monthly bills and expenses. 

The Bill Insurance offers them a sense of security, ensuring they can maintain their utility expenses, which are essential to keep life moving and to better support themselves and their families”, said Cillin O’Flynn, General Manager of Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A – Hong Kong Branch. Latest reports[1] reveal that the average number of people engaged in flexible workforces in Hong Kong has reached 741,000 in 2020, accounting for close to 20% of the total workforce. This figure is significantly higher when compared to the average recorded in 2010 ten years ago (391,000; 11%).

Cillin added, “Generali strives to become the Lifetime Partner of our customers by listening to them, thinking out of the box and offering innovative products tailored to their needs. ZA is an ideal partner for us as they share the same vision for innovation. Their newly established digital platform, ZA Insure Select allows customers to complete purchases with convenience and ease. Together with ZA and the launch of our new ZA Bill Insurance, the first of its kind for us as well as the Hong Kong market, we aim to bring our customers greater peace of mind amid challenging times”.
