APA Insurance Unveils Platform for Instalment Payment of Motor Insurance Online

‘Mwezi kwa Mwezi’ makes motor insurance easy, adorable and convenient

Nairobi, Kenya, 21 April 2015…….APA Insurance has launched a new platform that allows motor vehicle insurance policyholders to pay their annual premiums online in up to six monthly installments.

The payment platform dubbed ‘Mwezi kwa Mwezi’ that was developed in conjunction with Swahiba Insurance Agency is meant to make purchase of motor vehicle insurance easy, affordable and convenient.

Usually, a whole year’s premium for motor vehicle insurance is paid in one lump sum.  The ‘Mwezi kwa Mwezi’ proposition introduces flexibility in these payments by breaking them into three or six installments. Besides, payments and registration is all handled online for convenience.

According to Mr. Michael Odour, Chief Executive Officer of APA Insurance, APA was a choice partner because the firm has a product that is approved by the Insurance Regulatory Authority that allows payments for motor vehicle insurance in installments.

“At APA Insurance, we are committed to continually rewrite the rules of insurance.  Our new proposition eliminates our customers’ headache in paying for motor vehicle insurance.  In addition to staggering premiums into several installments, they can now enjoy the convenience of making the payments online,” Oduor added.

Customers signing up for ‘Mwezi kwa Mwezi’ are required to submit their personal details and those of their vehicle registration, logbook and valuation certificate online, besides indicating where they would like the policy to be delivered.  They will also make a one-off fee of 1.5 per cent of the annual premium.

“For as long as designated payments are made on time, the comprehensive vehicle insurance remains current,” explains Oduor.

This new proposition follows the unveiling of the Globetrotter Travel Cover that insures travelers against loss or damage of luggage during travel, delayed departure of booked flights, the event that they cannot get to their destinations because of hijack, loss of essential documents, medical expenses and personal accidents. It also covers personal liability for accidental injury to third party or damage to their property.

APA Insurance also offers: Motor Insurance, Agricultural Insurance, Aviation Insurance, Health insurance, Personal Accident Insurance, Liability Insurance, and Marine/ Transit Insurance, among others.

Wuang Chuangfu of China's BYD on CNN's Talk Asia

ThisWeeks Talk Asia show with Journalist Andrew Stevens featured the Chairman of Chinese Auto Giant - BYD Group Wuang Chuangfu . The show was insightful especially on the BYD's group attempt to mass produce the pure Electronic Vehicles (EV'S) and the Hybrid Electronic Vehicles (HEV'S) for the World Market. He pointed out tht the economic conditions are now ripe for the World to move on from the gas(fuel) powered motor vehicles to the more environmentally friendly Electronic Vehicles!

Wuang Chuangfu highlighted that the current American President Administrations push for eco-friendly alternative energy resources and the Chinese Governments Tax subsidies for eco-friendly vehicles provides a conducive environment forvehicle manufactures to venture into that kind of production. The EV's are expected to cost US $ 15,000 which is comparable to most fuel powered vehicles and will indeed attract a huge consumer market. BYD group has for sometime now been manufacturing the Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV's) and targeted the European, Russian , Middle East and Latin American Market, but now want to forray into the American Motor Vehicle Market as their biggest importer!The show allowed us to get glimpses of the BYD Motor Vehicle assembly plant and it was quite impressive! Mr Wuang Chuangfu has a specifically passionate appeal for manufactures to embrace environmental friendly technologies and make the same affordable to the market! For that he is to be lauded!
