ShopeePay has announced the launch of Zurich Wallet Protection, provided by Zurich General Insurance, on the ShopeePay and Shopee apps.
Starting from RM1.40 per month, the plans offer coverage for ShopeePay and other bank accounts, e-wallets, and card payments against risks such as fraudulent transfers, unauthorised transactions, phishing, impersonation, card misuse, and online shopping fraud.
The launch comes amid rising fraud-related crimes in Malaysia.
“While we actively educate our users on how to stay safe online, it’s equally important to offer a last layer of protection that is both affordable and accessible to everyone. Anyone can fall victim to a fraud, and often, it’s only realised when it’s too late.”
Zurich Wallet Protection is available in two options, the Basic Plan and the VIP Plan.
The Basic Plan includes a free first month, allowing users to try the coverage at no cost.
Junior Cho, Country CEO of Zurich Malaysia, added:
“Guided by our Care For What Matters promise and enabled by our Zurich Edge capabilities, we have co-created a solution that customers can easily discover, purchase and manage within the ShopeePay and Shopee apps, giving them greater confidence when transacting online and helping them safeguard their hard-earned money from fraudulent activities.” – FINTECH NEWS MALAYSIA
