FWD started in the Philippines with digital in its DNA but using human insights to deliver the best customer experience and services. The latest innovation FWD FitForMe leverages AI partnered with people-centric approach. FWD FitForMe is free to use for everyone, developed to help close the protection gap by giving Filipinos access to information on how much and what kind of financial protection people of similar background have.
By completing a short questionnaire, FWD FitForMe analyzes answers against FWD’s first-party data to identify the appropriate financial profile. It then provides personalized insurance recommendations that better suit the customer’s needs, lifestyle, and what they want to achieve. Insurance plans can range from full plans to digital products that may be relevant to customers. To get a more holistic financial advice, customers may also set a consultation with a financial advisor.
