Global Care and Poni Insurtech are currently focused on developing innovative digital insurance products and technology platforms that cater to diverse customer needs. At the event, Global Care also launched the Insurance Comparison Platform (GlobalCare.vn), a platform designed to allow customers to quickly compare and choose suitable insurance products. This platform also helps insurance companies digitize their offerings without requiring a dedicated technology team.

Through the platform, customers can search for and customize insurance packages that fit their protection needs and financial capabilities. For insurers, the platform enables the digitization of products with ease, while integrating AI technology for swift and accurate claim analysis and approval.

This platform benefits both customers and insurance agents, who can use it to find appropriate insurance packages and earn income as collaborators. The launch of this dedicated insurance comparison channel is a unique development in the Vietnamese market, where e-commerce for insurance is becoming increasingly common.

Through its multi-platform digital ecosystem, Global Care connects insurers, business partners, and collaborators with customers, and has partnered with major Vietnamese insurers such as Bao Viet, Bao Minh, and PTI. Strategic partners include The Gioi Di Dong, Grab, ePass, and Ahamove.
