The new funding will be used to expand in Indonesia and develop new distribution channels, including insurance agents and SMEs.

The COVID-19 pandemic also drove interest in financial planning, including investment and insurance, especially health coverage.

Other insurtech startups in Indonesia that have recently raised funding include Lifepal, PasarPolis, Qoala and Fuse.
