Singapore-based insurtech Igloo has partnered with smartphone brands OPPO and realme to offer protection and after-sales services for their smartphones.
The partnership has launched in Singapore with OPPO and in the Philippines with realme, with plans to roll out into other markets, including Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand.
Igloo will provide screen protection plans starting at US$0.074 (SG$ 0.1) per day for OPPO smartphones, as well as extended warranty plans, accidental warranty plans, and screen damage protection plans starting at US$0.0035 (PHP 0.2) per day for realme smartphones.
For in-store purchases, Igloo has streamlined the registration process with a QR code that leads directly to the customer portal.
Furthermore, Igloo has made it possible for OPPO and realme customers to effortlessly access and buy official protection plans. This is facilitated through a dedicated customer portal that syncs in real-time with the smartphone brands’ databases for updates.
