“GoBear aspires to be the key enabler and one-stop solution provider for users to compare the best financial products available in Malaysia. Being a part of this Sandbox Framework means GoBear works closely with Bank Negara Malaysia in ensuring that consumers get transparent and accurate information allowing them to compare confidently with us” says Iskandar Ezzahuddin, Country Director.
GoBear Malaysia As part of expansion plans to introduce new products for 2017, GoBear Malaysia kick starts the year with the launch of a popular financial product – travel insurance. With the travel comparison function now made available, the best travel insurance plan for the user is now seconds away. User search is customized based on the user’s destination, location and the type of travel coverage they are looking for without the input of any personal details.
