What:
QBE Hong Kong announces a partnership with Kangaroo, a leading smart home security start up, to offer homeowners smart home kits to detect and prevent damage from water and humidity.
Why:
Water damage is the second most common loss event for homeowners (excluding natural catastrophe). On average, a water damage claim costs USD$5,000. Homeowners can also be displaced or inconvenienced for days or weeks if the repairs are extensive.
How:
- QBE customers will get Kangaroo’s simple and secure Water + Climate Sensor included for free (RRP HKD$250) when they purchase home insurance online.
- With Kangaroo’s Water + Climate Sensor, users can use their phone to check indoor climate information and are notified if they had a leak from a burst pipe.
- QBE’s home plus protection package provides comprehensive coverage for home contents, pets and temporary accommodation due to unforeseen circumstances.
