AXA
Philippines, one of the country’s leading insurance companies, has partnered
with online financial literacy platform Bixie to make insurance more accessible
to women.
As part of the partnership, AXA Philippines’ micro insurance products will be available via the Bixie app. Those interested to apply will go through a less complicated application process, which is one of the barriers for people to get insurance. The application involves less paperwork, making it easier to purchase insurance and get themselves protected. The partnership is a significant step to make insurance even more accessible to the everyday Filipino, especially women.
“In AXA, we are committed towards
reinforcing gender equality and helping drive financial inclusion. We join
Bixie in its thrust of empowering women to know their worth as well as grow
their worth,” said Rose Musico, Chief
of General Insurance & Commercial Business.
Bixie is a
platform that connects women who want to invest
According
to Bixie’s founder & CEO, Rosalia Gitau, “Bixie’s entire mission is to
empower women to start managing and controlling their money and then to grow
it. We want women at all socioeconomic levels to know that this is within their
reach. What we love about this partnership with AXA is that they are providing
microinsurance products that are so affordable and so accessible that it really
is aligned with our mission.”
AXA
Philippines will also be providing microinsurance to 500 Filipina small and
medium enterprise (SME) owners, who were selected through the Catholic Relief
Services (CRS). This partnership is the culmination of a month-long,
Philippine-based pilot project that AXA and Bixie did with Catholic Relief
Services, a humanitarian agency in the United States, who invested in and
insured 500 Filipina SME owners. These women were graduates of CRS’ savings and
loan schemes and have already shown initiative in wanting to determine a better
future for themselves.
