Zurich Malaysia collaborates with Shopee Malaysia as its first digital partner in expanding accessibility to motorcycle Insurance and Takaful

This new offering makes Zurich the first digital partner to offer digital motorcycle insurance and takaful on Shopee’s platform, enabling the popular e-commerce to broaden its portfolio of insurance and takaful offerings in the market.

Recording over 16 million registered motorcycles, a significant slice of the Malaysian population relies on motorcycles as their lifeline, as part of their day-to-day tasks, transportation and primary mode of work, particularly for those involved in the gig economy.

Recognising the need to make motorcycle insurance and takaful coverage more accessible and affordable, this partnership allows users to access Zurich’s holistic and inclusive motorcycle plans via Shopee, utilising the brand’s e-commerce expertise to provide users with an easy and accessible insurance and takaful purchasing experience. This collaboration further bolsters Zurich’s digital strategy under ‘Zurich Edge’ to offer a suite of seamless end-to-end digital offerings via its partners.

Catering to the diverse needs and lifestyles of Malaysians, Zurich offers optional add-ons to bolster the safety and provide ease of mind when faced with unprecedented events. Users may choose to purchase the following add-ons for an extra layer of protection for their motorcycles:

• Passenger Liability Cover

Sharing on this collaboration, Alain Yee, Head of SeaMoney said “As part of the e-commerce industry, we actively engage and employ a diverse cast of Malaysians, a significant portion of which rely on motorcycles as part of their work or day-to-day lives.”

For how integral motorcycles are to many Malaysian lives, we believed that equal importance needed to be placed on accessibility and affordability of insurance to keep (motorcycle) riders protected.” “We’re proud to have Zurich’s quality underwriting and Shopee’s ecommerce experience alongside us as we play our part to bring simpler and more affordable coverage to motorcyclists.”

Junior Cho, Country CEO/Head of Zurich Malaysia, said, “Ensuring that Malaysians have easy and affordable access to comprehensive protection is a fundamental principle at Zurich. Our partnership with SeaMoney and Shopee enables us to reach more motorcyclists, offering them a seamless and secure way to purchase our Z-Rider Insurance and Z-Rider Takaful protection plans.
