The Insurance Kiosk will streamline the path for customers, providing services such as quotations, payments, renewals, new policies and claims thus making all insurance services available via a vending machine. Customers could make all payments related to their motor insurance by credit card at this kiosk.
“We want to change the way customers think of insurance and by deploying a kiosk that delivers motor insurance in seconds, we aim to meet and exceed expectations for a fast, simple and above all convenient way to find and pay for insurance,” explained Asian Alliance General Insurance, Director/CEO, Ramal Jasinghe.
