Improving contracts, enhancing customer experience

Sharing more about the impact of insurance on economic development in Vietnam, Ms. Wai-duen Lee, Deputy Director of PwC Hong Kong commented that affordability and demand for health care products and insurance in Vietnam is increasing.

Therefore, to take advantage of the above opportunity, regarding solutions to develop a safe and healthy insurance industry, Mr. Ngo Trung Dung, Deputy Secretary General of the Vietnam Insurance Association, said that solutions have been implemented including improving products to make them easier to understand and more accessible to people; the professional processes of appraisal and issuance of insurance contracts have been improved by many businesses to enhance transparency and customer experience.

According to analysis by PwC experts, the insurance industry plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the financial system as large investors in the financial market, with close links with banks and other financial institutions and contribute to protecting the stability of the balance sheets of households and businesses.

In addition, the settlement of insurance benefits is faster and more convenient for customers. Businesses also actively improve the quality of consulting teams as well as control consulting quality; enhance customer experience to bring added value to insurance products and services.

In addition, in the market, life insurance businesses have also launched many solutions and products that bring practical results to customers.
