The Insurance Authority (IA) has been working closely with the HKFI InsurTech Task Force on initiatives involving the use of technology for non-face-to-face (“non-F2F”) distribution of long term insurance products. As the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the need to minimise risk of infection during the sales of insurance products, new insurance technology will be a key solution. In response, the IA has published requirements to allow the use video conference (VC) technology in the sales distribution of long term insurance products. At the same time, the IA and Insurers are assessing how broader InsurTech solutions can help overcome pandemic conditions and accelerate future growth.
