MANILA, Philippines, July 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- While
getting insurance coverage or any type of financial service is an important step towards independence, it is still considered to
be a daunting task for many Filipinos. There is a negative misconception that getting financial services entail long processes
and unnecessary expenses. Furthermore, the countless products available, different terms, and application requirements usually
scream confusion and intimidation, making others forgo the process
altogether.
GoBear, Asia's first and only meta-search engine for insurance and banking services, is here
to bridge that gap. With GoBear, Filipinos can now easily compare different financial products including insurance, credit cards,
and loans right from their computers or mobile phones. Users do not have to worry about details that might have been overlooked
because GoBear takes pride in its unbiased, simple, and transparent way of offering consumers with the best deals. While GoBear
is home to a number of financial products locally, the website does not sell nor promote any particular product. GoBear simply
compares and aims to give users the power to choose what will best suit their
needs.
"Consumers deserve the freedom to be able to make decisions for themselves, especially when it comes to money matters. What
users need is a tool that will help them weigh options in a completely transparent, quick, and understandable way," says GoBear
CEO and Founder Andre Hesselink. "We, at GoBear, hope that the brand can be an enabler towards
increased financial literacy and responsibility," he adds.
Known as one of today's top celebrity couples, Drew Arellano and Iya
Villania-Arellano were revealed as the celebrity influencers of the brand during its grand launch. For GoBear, the couple
is the ideal pair to work with as the company rolls out its initiatives
locally.
"We chose Drew and Iya as GoBear Philippines' influencers as they embody the simple and fun personality of GoBear. As young
professionals and a soon-to-be family of three, both of them can best represent the people that GoBear aims to guide in making
smarter financial decisions. We are very happy and proud to have them as part of the family," says GoBear Philippines Country
Director Rommel Torres.
GoBear Philippines currently features travel insurance, credit cards, and personal loans, and will be expanding into the car
insurance, car loans, home loans, and health insurance categories.
