Leveraging Malaysia as the talent hub in Southeast Asia, Bjak plans to invest over RM100 million in research and development, creating high-value employment opportunities for Malaysians.

Leading digitalization of insurance in Southeast Asia

Founded with the social mission to empower the B40 community to make smart (“Bjak”) financial decisions, Bjak launched Bjak.com in 2019 to allow car and motorcycle owners to compare and renew insurance policies instantly. Currently, Bjak.com leads the insurance marketplace as the single largest motorcycle and car insurance platform in Malaysia with more than 3 million users and 14 insurance brands.

Moving beyond vehicle insurance, Bjak eyes the life and health insurance industry and Singapore as its first stop of regional expansion. “It is an exciting time in the next few months. We will launch the first online life and health insurance platform in Malaysia, providing an alternative to traditional agents. Across the border in Singapore, we are launching the first car insurance aggregator platform with 10 insurance brands quoted instantly,” shared Peter Ang.
