SINGAPORE -�Media OutReach�-�23�October 2019 -�Etiqa Insurance
Singapore has launched its first affiliate portal with the widest range of
insurance (Application Programming Interfaces) APIs in the local market to
date. Etiqa API Portal provides standard API
services, such as quotation, policy creation and enforcement and payment for
seven key products, enabling partners across industries to easily integrate
insurance services and solutions into their online platforms.

With test environment and sandbox interfaces
for partners to build effective ecosystems, Etiqa API Portal helps to create
digital marketplaces where third-party software developers can build new
applications around Etiqa's products and services, and co-deliver the best
experience for customers. At present, APIs for insurance savings, travel, maid,
car, home and personal accident insurance are available on the portal.��

The customer-centric digital insurer also
provides a Referral Catalogue for marketing affiliates with limited coding
knowledge. Interested parties such as bloggers or influencers can conveniently
retrieve unique referral links for Etiqa's full range of online products,
including life products, to share on their preferred social channels.

"Similar to banks, we want to make insurance
invisible by integrating it with the daily lives of modern day consumers. With
our APIs, our partners can embed insurance solutions on their platform as and
when they need to," says Dennis Liu, Head of Business Transformation and
Technology, Etiqa Insurance Singapore. Etiqa has since established strong
working relationships with several partners such as PolicyPal and SingtelDash
to provide insurance solutions and services on different operating models.

The forward-thinking digital insurer also
introduced SingPass Mobile login at TiqConnect, their online customer
self-service portal. The SingPass Mobile app enables convenient and secured
user login to TiqConnect, where customers can enjoy direct, password-less access
to their matters.
