AIA Singapore enhances accessibility and affordability of quality healthcare services for more than 1 million insured members with deepened partnership with WhiteCoat

All insured members will benefit from having increased access to telemedicine, mental wellness services, pediatric care and home health screenings from WhiteCoat.


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 November 2024 – AIA Singapore, a leading health insurer, is reinforcing its commitment to enhancing the quality of care for insured members by making Whitecoat’s healthcare services accessible to all1 AIA insured members at affordable rates from 4 November 2024. This initiative will provide convenient, quality and affordable medical care to more Singaporeans and Singapore Residents.

Previously only accessible for customers with AIA HealthShield Gold Max and selected AIA critical illness plans, AIA Singapore’s exclusive partnership with Whitecoat will now provide all1 AIA insured members access to on-demand telemedicine services from the comforts of their own homes.

“Health is wealth. With people at the centre of everything that we do at AIA Singapore, we want more people to take a worry-free step towards living Healthier, Longer, Better lives,” said Ms. Irma Hadikusuma, Chief Marketing and Proposition Officer, AIA Singapore.

Worryingly, Singapore’s medical inflation is increasing at a faster pace than the rise in overall cost of living[1]. With the average cost of medical care expected to increase by close to 10.7% in 2024[2], it is no surprise that a large majority of Singaporeans (80%) are concerned about the rising medical costs[3]. Furthermore, Singaporeans listed rising healthcare costs and loss of independence as the main concerns they have when it comes to growing old[4]. In response to the growing concerns of financial pressures brought about by rising medical cost and cost of living, AIA Singapore’s timely move in partnership with Whitecoat further fortifies its commitment to make quality healthcare services affordable and accessible to all.

As a leader in the insurance industry, AIA Singapore is dedicated to understanding and meeting the evolving needs of its customers. To underscore this commitment, the company recently provided 15,000 Singapore residents with six months of free critical illness and mortality insurance. This initiative aimed to address the protection gap in Singapore[5] and showcase AIA’s ability to deliver innovative solutions that cater to the specific requirements of its customers.

In August 2024, AIA Singapore announced its initiative of minimising jargon in policy documents and simplifying these documents. This will enable customers to better understand what their policies cover and don’t cover, allowing them to better understand their coverage and identify protection gaps to better plan for their future needs[6].

Bizcap Announces Plans for Singapore Expansion, Appoints Joseph Lim as Asia Managing Partner to Drive SME Growth


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 November 2024 – Bizcap, an Australia-headquartered fintech leader in fast and flexible business finance across Australia, New Zealand, and the U.K, today announced its expansion plans into Singapore, along with the appointment of Joseph Lim as Asia Managing Partner.

Launching in Q1 2025, Bizcap’s expansion into Singapore addresses a critical gap in the SME financing landscape: the challenge of accessing quick and flexible capital. Many of the 300,000 SMEs in Singapore encounter challenges in securing traditional financing, often due to a short financial track record or inadequate collateral. According to the Singapore Department of Statistics, only 27% of SMEs in Singapore are able to secure bank financing, while 40% rely on personal savings or loans from family and friends.

Bizcap provides financing solutions ranging from SGD 5,000 to SGD 500,000, with approvals within hours, no upfront credit checks, a low documentation process, and fund disbursement within 24 hours. In response to the increased demand for alternative financing, this approach supports businesses in accessing timely funds to meet immediate needs in an increasingly digitalised market.

To lead this new venture, Bizcap has appointed Joseph Lim as Asia Managing Partner. With over 13 years of experience in financial services and a proven track record of driving growth in competitive markets, he has been pivotal in generating $50-$70 million annually and has led channel and direct distribution teams of over 120 people across APAC. Additionally, he played a key role in notable transactions, including the sale of OneSource to Dunn & Bradstreet Australia (now ‘illion’) in 2016 and the acquisition of the Zip Business loan book in 2023.

Lim will be central in Bizcap’s expansion, working closely with advisers, lenders, and referral partners to establish a strong foundation for Bizcap’s growth across Asia. He will focus on driving strategic partnerships, overseeing market entry initiatives, and ensuring alignment with local market needs to support sustainable growth in the region.

“Lim’s appointment as our Asia Managing Partner marks a key milestone in our international growth strategy,” said Abraham White, Co-CEO of Bizcap. “His deep knowledge of financial services and passion for innovation will be key as we deliver on our promise to provide fast, reliable funding to SMEs across the region. We look forward to seeing the success of the Singapore market as the first entry point to Asia for Bizcap.”

With an estimated GDP growth forecast of 2.6% in 2024, SMEs are showing increased optimism as they pursue growth and expansion opportunities, driving demand for quick, flexible funding options to fuel development, hire skilled labour, and invest in equipment. Bizcap will focus on supporting SME growth in sectors such as wholesale, retail, manufacturing, professional services, construction, and hospitality.

Key features of Bizcap’s financing solutions to support Singapore SMEs include:

  • Fast Processing: Approvals are processed within hours, with funds typically dispersed within 24 hours, enabling SMEs to capitalise on urgent business opportunities in Singapore’s competitive sectors.
  • Flexible Criteria: Bizcap tailors its lending approach by evaluating each SME’s unique circumstances, making it possible for businesses that might not meet strict traditional criteria to secure the funding they need.
  • Low-Documentation Requirements: By minimising paperwork and upfront requirements, Bizcap’s streamlined application process removes common administrative barriers, making access to funds quicker and simpler for SMEs.
  • Transparency: With clear, straightforward terms and no hidden fees, Bizcap provides SMEs the ability to make informed financial decisions.

Since its founding in 2019, Bizcap has provided over $1 billion in funding to more than 25,000 SMEs across Australia, New Zealand and the U.K.
