FinancialOne.Com makes buying term life insurance online simple and easy. Their goal is to empower and educate consumers about term life insurance and then assist them in choosing the most appropriate life insurance policy that meets their needs.
You can tell theirs is not a lead generation site as you are able to contact them on their toll-free number for customer support and secondly, they provide real-time quotes.
If Malaysia is as large in size as the U.S. or as advanced in technology, perhaps we too would be buying term life insurance online.
But I thing it is better to buy our insurance through trusted agents. :p
ReplyDeleteWe do have online comparison here as well. Online forms, and payment etc.

Not sure how can they get those work. Really everything online now.

ReplyDeleteSK, I think you hit the nail on the head. Our society is still not as advanced as those of the West. In time to come, I believe..
