The cashless society – Implications for insurers
Editorial by Hugh Terry
In this edition of China in Focus, in partnership with iptiQ by Swiss Re, we look at the inevitable rise of the cashless society in Asia, its impact and development in China in particular, and what implications it has for insurers.
Alongside that we chart the development and significance of the imminent introduction of the digital yuan in China, and look at whether it will shake up the payments environment in the region forever.
In our webinar that runs alongside the edition (view the recording on-demand below) we ask among other things: what is the state of payments in mainland China and Hong Kong? How has cashless enabled ecosystem models? And how can insurers best work with payment providers?
Finally in our InsurTech Analysis series we look at OneConnect Financial Technology, that provides technology-as-a-service to more than half of all China’s insurance companies, and present an infographic and video comparing and contrasting two of the largest payment platforms in China: Alipay and Tenpay.
Yours digitally,
