Qashio, YallaCompare launch Qashio Insurance to offer health insurance for small businesses

Fintech company Qashio, best known for its Corporate Cards and Expense Management solutions, is launching Qashio Insurance - their own branded Health Insurance in partnership with YallaCompare. The new offering is dubbed a cost-effective solution with a simplified and automated digital health declaration process, taking less than a minute to complete.

Why does it matter?

This initiative marks the inception of the first and only fully online health insurance journey for SMEs of all sizes, from freelancers to companies with a workforce of up to 25,000 employees. It offers the same benefits and pricing as large enterprises, with a digital-first approach that is faster, transparent, and more cost-effective than traditional insurance models. Also, Qashio Insurance's digital efficiency enables applications to be processed immediately on the spot, 10x faster than conventional methods, which rely on paper and wet signatures.

The solution is meant to challenge the status quo by offering up to 25% more affordable rates compared to the market. The platform presents three tiers of coverage, allowing businesses to find the right plan to suit their unique requirements. Furthermore, an installment payment option is available, providing the financial flexibility that modern SMEs demand.

Qashio Insurance is now available, inviting businesses to join the digital disruption in health insurance.

The context

The platform comes at a time when the MENA health and medical insurance market is experiencing significant growth driven by increasing demand from the healthcare sector, population growth, and demographic shifts. In the UAE, which has over 557,000 SMEs, health insurance is mandatory for its residents, and all employers must provide health insurance to employees and their dependents.

Qashio is a multi-award-winning corporate card and expense management solution, while YallaCompare is the leading comparison platform for financial products in the region.
