Bloom Announces New Partnerships with 3 Microinsurance Services Providers in Hong Kong

Startups work together to bring more synergies to each other

Hong Kong-based technology startup Bloom has announced that it has formed partnerships with three separate microinsurance services providers. The insurance startups named are ZA Insure Select, YAS Microinsurance and Avo Insurance.

Bloom is a web 3.0 spend-to-earn rewards platform that enables any Hong Kong bank issued Visa cardholders to earn Bloom Coins[1] with every purchase made globally. With this simple spend-to-earn process, members can redeem their Bloom Coins for over 18 (eighteen) different types of cryptocurrencies (including but not limited to Bitcoin and Ethereum), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), as well as merchant offers and coupons.

With these new, burgeoning relationships, Bloom will be able to open a new section and offer insurance related products and services from all three microinsurance services providers.

Products to be on boarded onto the app include:

Free Mobile Screen Protection products from ZA Insure Select
Discounts from YAS:
– HK$15 off of HYKE insurance for hiking
(Original Price – HK$75 per 5 trips)
– HK$5 doff of RYUN 500 km Running Insurance
(Original price – HK$50 per 500 km)
– HK$20 off of any FLY travel Insurance purchase
Discounts and Deals from Avo Insurance

(including lite & plus, 1 year & 2 years plan)
– 40% off of the eWallet Protection mini
– 20% off of Child Vaccination Protection
– AvoDynamics Sports Protection Day Pass gift card for HK$16

The new partnerships formed between Bloom and these microinsurance services providers can be characterized as mutual support being fostered between startup ventures banding together to increase their synergy and grow exponentially faster.

Essentially, registered Bloom app users will be able to redeem their Bloom Coins for a voucher with a coupon code. That code can then be used on the relevant microinsurance company website for the specific discount deal or offer.

To accelerate the adoption, new Bloom members can be rewarded with Bitcoin valued at USD2 by linking any Visa card to the Bloom app[2] globally. Additionally, they will also be able to receive extra Bitcoin valued at USD2 by making a transaction of any amount at selected online or offline merchants in Hong Kong3.

The offer is applicable to all eligible transactions with any online or physical merchants around the world. The rebates will be directly credited to the Bloom App for unlimited times. Members can get a maximum of 20 Bloom Coins from each transaction.

                  COVID-19

                  The Global Private Banking Innovation Awards will recognise the world’s best private banks, wealth managers and asset managers that are championing innovation across advisory, service, products, customer experience and more.
