Chubb Unveils “The Remittance Trust Trap”: Global Research Exposes Hidden Vulnerabilities Among Senders, Especially Gig Workers

The inaugural Sender Market Vulnerability Index spotlights the financial fragility of foreign workers, and a disconnect between senders’ trust in remittance services and their actual risk

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Chubb, a world leader in insurance, today announced the findings of its comprehensive global study of 3,500 international remittance senders in its ground-breaking report, “The Remittance Trust Trap: Revealing Hidden Vulnerabilities,” which uncovers critical and often overlooked risks faced by international remittance senders, particularly those in the burgeoning gig economy.

Remittances constitute the principal, and sometimes the sole, financial conduit to many individuals and families at the household level. These remittances are not simply financial transactions but vital lifelines that contribute to nutrition, healthcare, education, and financial safety nets for recipient families. Without these funds, recipients may struggle to afford essentials like food, shelter, and clothing. And beyond individual households, remittances can contribute to local economies by increasing spending power and fostering community development. 

The report highlights a significant disconnect between senders’ perceived trust in remittance services and the actual risks they encounter, as measured by the launch of research’s inaugural Sender Market Vulnerability Index (SMVI). This innovative and first-of-its-kind tool assesses the economic, social, and technological dimensions of vulnerability from remittance senders in key cross-border corridors (U.S., U.K., Spain, UAE, Singapore, Australia). More than 3,500 international remittance senders with below-median household incomes, many of whom were foreign and gig workers, were surveyed.

Key Findings from “The Remittance Trust Trap” and the survey of 3,500 remittance senders:

  • The Trust-Vulnerability Disconnect: The SMVI reveals a counterintuitive trend: senders who express high confidence in remittance services reaching their recipients securely often exhibit higher actual vulnerability. For instance, senders in the UAE show strong trust despite facing substantial underlying risks (33% in the UAE vs. 27% globally). This disconnect underscores a critical need for enhanced protection.
  • Elevated Vulnerability for Migratory and Gig Workers: Foreign and gig workers, who constitute a significant portion of remittance senders, consistently face heightened economic instability, limited social safety nets, and greater susceptibility to technological risks. Only 3% of U.S. migratory and gig workers, for example, report that they could sustain living expenses for more than three months without income.
  • Cybersecurity Concerns Offset Digital Convenience: While digital remittance channels offer unparalleled convenience, over one-third (34%) of global senders reported being victims of online fraud or cybercrime. This figure rises to 39% for foreign and gig workers in the U.S., leading many to reduce their use of digital platforms and potentially undermining financial inclusion efforts.
  • High Demand, Low Adoption for Insurance: The survey found overwhelming interest in tailored insurance products among remittance senders, with nearly nine out of 10 respondents expressing significant interest in income protection, hospital cash, accident coverage, and payment protection insurance. Despite this demand, actual adoption rates remain low, highlighting a substantial protection gap.
  • Surprising Market-Specific Vulnerabilities: The study revealed unexpected vulnerabilities in seemingly stable markets, with 55% of respondents of Australians — reiterating that the study focused on below-median household incomes — describing their financial situation as difficult. Singaporean senders expressed unusually high anxiety about job security (65% vs. 45% global average).

“The global remittance system is a lifeline for millions, yet our research exposes significant hidden vulnerabilities that demand urgent attention,” said Sean Ringsted, Chief Digital Business Officer at Chubb. “The ‘Remittance Trust Trap’ highlights that perceived security doesn’t always equate to real protection, especially for the hardworking individuals who power the gig economy. It’s a call to action for the entire ecosystem – insurers, remittance providers, and policymakers – to collaborate on building a safer, more resilient financial future for these essential global citizens.”

The report outlines clear recommendations for stakeholders:

  • For Remittance Companies and Insurers: Develop tailored insurance products (e.g., remittance theft/loss, income or personal accident protection, cyber insurance); accelerate claims response; strengthen fraud detection and data privacy; raise awareness; communicate with clarity and compassion; prioritize user financial resilience; and navigate regulation through expert partnerships.
  • For Policymakers: Promote financial inclusion and access to affordable insurance; invest in educational initiatives focusing on financial literacy and digital security.
  • For Individual Senders: Stay informed about cyber threats; use secure platforms; seek improved awareness and knowledge; and practice caution.

“Addressing these vulnerabilities is not just an economic necessity; it’s a private and public undertaking,” Ringsted added. “By innovating with accessible protection, investing in security and transparency, and empowering senders through education and reasonable regulations, we can collectively strengthen the entire system and ensure that global mobility leads to enduring opportunities for all.”

Methodology
“The Remittance Trust Trap: Revealing Hidden Vulnerabilities” is based on a survey of over 3,500 international remittance senders with below-median household incomes across the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, UAE, Singapore, and Australia from March 28 and April 10, 2025, who had sent international remittances within the past 12 months.

OSLO, Norway, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cavendish Hydrogen ASA (Cavendish) (Oslo Børs ticker: CAVEN) is pleased to announce a new contract award with PAK-PCE Stacje H2 (PAK-PCE H2 Stations), a company that is part of the Polsat Plus capital group, for an upgrade of the Rybnik station in the south of Poland.

PAK-PCE H2 has added 11 Neso buses to the local bus fleet, hence the capacity of the station needs expansion. After the upgrade project, which has added a new station module and dispenser, the station will be one of the biggest hydrogen fueling stations in Europe.

“At Cavendish, we are pleased to continue building on the already strong partnership with PAK-PCE H2 Stations. Furthermore, we are looking forward to expanding the cooperation on the existing fueling stations. To Cavendish, our cooperation serves as a testimony to having not only the market-leading product quality, but also delivering excellence in the operational period based on responsiveness and competence. Cavendish remains committed to establishing a leading position in the Polish market,” says Cavendish CEO, Robert Borin.

“Cavendish has supported PAK-PCE H2 Stations from the very beginning in building our hydrogen refueling station network in Poland, which now includes six locations. We are pleased that this collaboration continues. We believe that, thanks to our shared experience, the enhanced and innovation-driven infrastructure in Rybnik will contribute to the development of the hydrogen market and urban transport based on our Neso buses,” says CTO of PAK-PCE H2 Stations, Paweł Bujak.

Shandong to draw global attention with Confucius cultural festival

QUFU, China, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — East China’s Shandong province is the birthplace of Confucianism and one of the core origins of Chinese civilization, having cultivated the land for millennia. The belief system has deeply rooted itself in the hearts of its people, shaping their lifestyles and the nation’s values.

The Shandong Provincial People’s Government announced that on Sept 27 and 28 the 2025 International Confucius Cultural Festival will be held in Qufu, administered by Jining. It was the hometown of Confucius, who was revered as a sage living during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) and was the founder of Confucianism.

Themed “A Vision of Confucius: A World in Harmonious Coexistence”, this year’s festival will feature three major events, including an opening ceremony with the 20th awards ceremony of the UNESCO Confucius Prize, a memorial ceremony for Confucius, and a “study tour with Confucius” tourism-themed event, all in celebration of the 2,576th birthday of the sage.

In the past two decades since the UNESCO Confucius Prize started in 2005, the prize has seen 57 excellent projects from 36 countries including South Africa, Spain and Pakistan. They’ve promoted the implementation and effectiveness of the quality education goal in the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals and received widespread praise and high recognition from the global education community. This is evidence enough for Confucius’ saying: “Education without distinction” — and knowledge belongs to all who seek it.

Shandong, with its rich Confucian culture heritage, has always attracted the attention of the world. The tourism-themed event to be released during the festival aims to get visitors into a richer and more immersive cultural experience, touring Shandong’s mountains and rivers, savoring Confucius’ wisdom and exploring the connotation of harmonious coexistence. Meanwhile, a series of provincial-range study tours featuring Confucian culture will be launched.

In addition, the Shandong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism will join China Daily to host an event entitled “Global influencers explore Confucius hometown in shandong” from Sept 28 to 30.

About 10 international media figures, bloggers and cultural influencers will visit Qufu, Tai’an and Zibo, exploring Confucian heritage, Taishan Mountain and the colored glaze cultures through special immersive experiences. The event will feature interactive sessions, creating diverse content to amplify Shandong’s cultural appeal and tell its stories to the world.
