Shanghai, 02 August 2016 – Chubb announced today the launch of innovative personal accident insurance benefits under its preferred provider distribution agreement with Suning, one of the largest retailers and most recognized retail brands in China. Suning has an established extended warranty program for their retail customers. Chubb has enhanced the personal protection of Suning customers by offering personal accident coverage of up to RMB 1 million when they purchase Suning’s extended warranty program.
A nationwide roll-out is planned, starting with the launch in Shanghai and six cities in Jiangsu province in the first phase. This will be expanded to the other regions of Suning’s nationwide network, including online and offline product channels and retail outlets.
“This is a significant milestone for Chubb in China since the signing of a preferred provider distribution agreement with Suning in April this year. We are very pleased that through our close collaboration, the customized personal accident insurance benefits jointly developed by Suning and Chubb has been successfully launched,” said Ms. Zhang Bei, Chairperson, Board of Directors for Chubb Insurance Company Limited in China.
“The launch symbolizes that our cooperation with Suning has entered into a substantive phase. We believe that with the deepening of our partnership, we will continue to launch more customized products in the future to meet the consumer insurance needs of Suning’s 130 million registered members. Chubb has a long track record in offering relevant, essential protection for individuals, families and businesses of all sizes across the Asia Pacific region. We strive to enable renowned brands such as Suning to grow their business further with our insurance benefits,” added Ms. Zhang Bei.
