"By introducing the zero-interest installment payment scheme for car insurance policies, we are helping bring insurance closer to Filipinos who need them at a much more convenient and affordable manner," Kwik.insure Founder and CEO Hamilton Angluben explained.

"Our goal is to drive growth in the insurance industry, while helping more Filipinos avail of affordable insurance products. We believe that insurance should be available and uncomplicated for everyone for their financial well being. We plan to introduce the installment feature in all insurance lines in the future," he added.
