KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 22 (Bernama) -- AXA Affin General Insurance Berhad (AXA) has partnered with Malaysia’s first technology unicorn - Southeast Asia’s largest car e-commerce platform Carsome to create an all-rounded automotive ecosystem and bring added value and peace of mind to used car buyers.

With AXA being the first and only provider for Guaranteed Asset Protection – Return to Insured Value (GAP-RTIV) on Carsome platform, customers can get protected easily with GAP-RTIV insurance while purchasing a Carsome Certified car from Carsome.

GAP-RTIV was launched by AXA in April 2020 as the first-of-its-kind plan in the market that protects the full value of a vehicle during any unforeseen incident. It provides customers with financial relief and protection against their car financing, as well as full protection in the event of total loss following damage, fire or theft.

Emmanuel Nivet, Chief Executive Officer of AXA stated that this strategic partnership will not only enable AXA to create a differentiated customer experience during the used car buying process, but also expand its digital distribution footprint and plug the gap within the digital automotive marketplace.

“At AXA, we focus greatly in increasing our customer centricity. It is important to us that our customers can enjoy an enhanced suite of protection anytime, anywhere in an increasingly digital world. Our synergy with Carsome marks an exciting milestone for us, as it fits seamlessly into our digital agenda to deliver greater value to customers and enhance accessibility to our product solutions. We believe with our shared values and purpose, our synergy with Carsome will provide customers a simple, instant and personalised experience through a more efficient online ecosystem,” Emmanuel added.
