News Releases

The collaboration is one of the first General Insurance and Digital Banking partnerships of its kind in Vietnam. Together Chubb and Techcombank will co-create innovative insurance solutions and products for Techcombank’s 10.8 million customers, under its digital general insurance business, TechCare. Leveraging on the superior underwriting expertise and distribution capabilities of Chubb, TechCare will offer a convenient way for consumers in Vietnam to get protection tailored for their lifestyle needs.

TechCare Me is the first product launched under the new collaboration. It is a unique accidental product for Techcombank’s Inspire customers – young and digitally-savvy Vietnamese – as an in-path offering during their payment journey on Techcombank Mobile.

TechCare Me will be available to Inspire customers through Techcombank Mobile, one of the first in Vietnam that insurance payments have been integrated into a mobile banking app. The entire customer journey will be digitalized and the customer interactive experience fully personalized.

The partnership with Chubb reaffirms Techcombank’s position as a leader in the digital transformation of the banking industry in Vietnam and furthers its vision to Change banking, Change lives.

Darren Buckley, Chief Retail Banking Officer of Techcombank, said: “We are very excited to be partnering with Chubb in developing and offering embedded, innovative general insurance products within the Techcombank Mobile Banking App.  It is not only aligned with our strategy to source market leading solutions that meet the needs of our growing base of retail customers, but also to help make insurance more accessible and convenient, lowering the barriers to access affordable financial protection for people in Vietnam.”

Edward Ler, Chubb’s Head of Southeast Asia, shared “As one of the fastest growth countries in Southeast Asia, Vietnam’s population is largely made up of young, smart and hardworking individuals and the country is also home to a large middle class. Techcombank is well-positioned to offer insurance protection to these consumers who are also digitally-savvy. We are really excited to partner with Techcombank to embed TechCare Me in their customers’ bill payment journey as a start. By continuing to leverage our strengths in product innovation and digital distribution, we are looking forward to helping Techcombank enrich their digital offerings and stay a step ahead of their customers' needs.”

“Techcombank has been leading digital transformation in the banking industry in Vietnam. As we continue on the journey to becoming a next-generation bank, we are pleased to work with partners like Chubb who are aligned with our digital strategy, and able to co-create and deliver customer-centric propositions.” Pranav Seth Chief Digital Officer of Techcombank   

Khue Dinh, Country President of Chubb’s general insurance business in Vietnam said: “Bancassurance partnerships are very effective in making insurance accessible and affordable for consumers in Vietnam, many of whom have very thin layer of protection against unexpected risks like accidents. While the consumers have the means to fulfil their lifestyle needs, seeking insurance protection may not be their priority. Chubb is known for building a simplified in-path and tailored insurance experience through embedded insurance. The partnership also represents our contribution to raise awareness of the value of insurance protection so that consumers can continue to live their dreams.”

Underwritten by Chubb as a value-added protection feature when paying their bills via Techcombank Mobile, TechCare Me provides coverage for accidental death and permanent total disablement on a subscription basis.

From 09/03, customers who sign up online for TechCare Me will receive complimentary coverage on the first month.

Additional products will be co-created under the partnership to offer digital banking users protection for their online transactions such as money transfers, travel bookings and more.
