This innovative insurance coverage is embedded within their digital credit solution, offering ongoing device protection to users. JULO believes that by combining financial technology and insurance, they can provide a more inclusive and holistic financial solution to underbanked individuals in Indonesia.
Device Protection for Users
JULO Cares goes beyond traditional financial services by providing comprehensive device protection to users who avail of JULO’s digital credit. With the insurance cover automatically activated within the transaction flow, customers can enjoy peace of mind without any additional hassles. This unique feature differentiates JULO Cares from other insurance products in the market and enhances the value proposition for JULO’s digital credit users.
Low Insurance Penetration in Indonesia
Indonesia currently has a low general insurance penetration rate, standing at a mere 2.75%. This can be attributed to various factors, including a lack of insurance literacy and the affordability of insurance premiums. Many Indonesians are unaware of the benefits and importance of insurance, while others struggle to afford the premiums. This has led to a significant gap in insurance coverage, leaving many individuals vulnerable to financial risks.
Insurance Inclusion with JULO Cares

JULO Cares offers protection for smartphones against various forms of damage, such as accidental drops and phone theft.

In addition to device protection, JULO Cares also partners with the Indonesia Social Security Agency for Employment to offer Accident Protection Cover. This collaboration ensures that JULO’s customers receive comprehensive coverage, including financial support in case of accidents. By addressing not only device protection but also personal accidents, JULO Cares demonstrates its commitment to providing holistic insurance solutions that cater to the diverse needs of its customers.
Backed by Sompo
JULO Cares is proudly backed by Sompo, a global general insurer known for its successful track record in Indonesia.
