AFFINITY INSURANCE SPRING 2016 BANCASSURANCE Global Affinity AFFINITY BANKING Finance Club Finaccord’s newsletter about affinity financial services worldwide Welcome back to your Club! As outlined in this edition of the Global Affinity Finance Club , the most recent quarter has seen a range of innovative new partnerships in both the banking and insurance sectors, and several of these chime with the fact that the summer holiday season is now under- way. For example, in the field of prepaid cards designed for travelers, Wirecard has launched fully its Supercard product in association with Travelex as a payment card and app that connects all credit and debit cards held by customers in one secure solution with the aim of helping them to avoid roaming fees and charges when spending abroad. Moreover, JCB has developed a prepaid card with China’s Ctrip.com, an online travel business operating globally, which is de- signed for the growing number of Chinese citizens venturing abroad. Another holiday-themed initiative, this time in the insurance arena, is the affinity scheme of AIG via intermediary Affiniteam with mis- ter&b, a gay-friendly holiday rental website, whereby property own- ers benefit from insurance protecting them from damage to build- ings and personal possessions. Elsewhere, other eye-catching deals are those of Anthem with Aurora Health Care (for the creation of a joint venture health insurer in the US), of Assurant Solutions with MyDigitalShield (for data breach cover), of Aioi Nissay Dowa with Toyota (for telematics- enabled motor insurance) and of GAC-Sofinco with Alibaba (for car finance in China).
