PRUDENTIAL CAMBODIA AND WING (CAMBODIA) LIMITED SPECIALISED BANK SIGN MOU ALLOWING EASY PREMIUM PAYMENTS FOR PRUDENTIAL CUSTOMERS

Phnom Penh, 30th May 2018 – Cambodia’s leading life insurance company, Prudential Cambodia, and Cambodia’s leading mobile banking service provider, Wing, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Wednesday outlining a new partnership agreement.

Under the agreement, Prudential Cambodia customers will be able to pay their life insurance premiums via Wing’s 5,000 Cash Xpress agent network as well as through its Wing Money mobile app, and *989# USSD function giving customers greater choice in the way they pay their premiums.

“Premium payments are essential for our customers to maintain the protection and the peace of mind of a life insurance policy, so we want to make sure they can do this as easily as possible wherever they are across the Kingdom,” said Prudential Cambodia CEO David Nutman at the signing ceremony.

“Using Wing’s robust and secure network to make premium payments was an obvious choice for us as we are always looking for ways such as this to use technology to improve our customer service,” he added.

Through its bancassurance partner, ACLEDA, and its own offices in several key cities across Cambodia, Prudential already has a nationwide network. Partnering with Wing allows the company to reach customers in smaller towns and villages.

“In addition to providing a convenient way to pay the premium, this partnership will open more opportunities for both, banked and underbanked, people to access to Prudential insurance regardless of where they reside. This would mean that people in small town and villages across Cambodia can now access to various benefits that insurance company has to offer, something that they are left out in the past,” said Wing Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jojo Malolos, at the signing ceremony.

“With Wing, premium payment is either at your fingertips through our mobile payment solution or within your nearby Wing Cash Xpress agents. We, at Wing, aspire to create a viable and profitable ecosystem of agents, consumer, corporate, merchants, billers, MFI’s, and government that penetrates both the city and remote community throughout the Kingdom,” Mr. Malolos added.

The premium payment service through Wing, both account and agents, has already been activated. Prudential customers can now pay their premiums through biller codes, both on Mobile and with WCX agents nationwide.
