Fill Easy Partners with Prudential to Launch Market-First NFC Identity Verification Solution

We are thrilled to announce a major milestone in our mission to simplify insurance technology.

Fill Easy has officially partnered with Prudential Hong Kong to launch a market-first "e-KYC" (Electronic Know Your Customer) solution. This innovative collaboration integrates Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology into the onboarding process, setting a new benchmark for speed and security in the insurance sector.

The Challenge: The Manual Verification Bottleneck

Traditionally, purchasing insurance has involved a friction-heavy process of manual identity checks.[2] Customers often face delays while physical documents are scanned, uploaded, and verified on the backend—a process that slows down protection coverage and creates administrative hurdles.

The Solution: Tap, Verify, Done

Through our collaboration with Prudential, we have integrated our solution directly into PRUSubmit, Prudential’s electronic application platform.

Instead of manual uploads, customers can now simply tap their NFC-enabled identification document on a secured device.The system instantly authenticates the identity through an encrypted Application Programming Interface (API) connected to authorized statutory bodies.

Unlocking Data with the GBA Standard Contract

A key enabler of this technology is the Greater Bay Area (GBA) Standard Contract.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with Prudential in launching this state-of-the-art e-KYC solution, made possible by the GBA Standard Contract, which allows us to leverage verified data to streamline customer onboarding experience."
