GoBear Vietnam receives 1 mil online visitors within first year of operation

GoBear is Asia’s first and only metasearch engine for insurance and banking products. GoBear provides users a comparison platform that is free, easy to use, and unbiased. Since the official launch in Vietnam in early December 2016 with three products— comparison of credit cards, personal loans, and travel insurance—as well as educational pages for unsecured loans, GoBear Vietnam has landed nearly one million visitors to its website to become a trusted provider of comparison services for financial products in Vietnam.

The new website features an upgraded credit cards comparison function and is expected to provide users with an enhanced experience which will make searching and comparing credit cards on the website easier than ever before.

“The fact that GoBear Vietnam has hit nearly one million visitors in our very first year of operation shows Vietnamese people’s genuine interest in finding the right personal finance products and confirms GoBear’s vast growth potential. GoBear is looking forward to receiving even more support from our users and business partners, and to bringing more transparency and fair pricing to the market in our next phases of development,” said Andre Hesselink, CEO and co-founder of GoBear.

“Overall, GoBear has shown strong month-on-month growth ever since we started our first office in Singapore right up to our latest office in Vietnam. So far, we have served 14 million users year to date, with a rapid growth of four million users last month. In 2016, Think with Google ranked GoBear as the most popular comparison website in the region based on search volume,” Hesselink added.

GoBear is Asia’s first and only metasearch engine for insurance and financial products. It was founded based on the simple premise that a consumer should find freedom and ease in choosing complex financial products like insurance, credit cards, and loans.

Headquartered in Singapore since early 2015, GoBear has established presence in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Manila, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, and will continue to expand across Asia in 2018.

As one of the fastest growing fintech startups in Asia, GoBear is leading the way in democratising financial shopping experience with its unbiased and personalised comparison process. GoBear’s user-oriented platform neither aggregates nor sells products.

GoBear simply offers consumers a free and transparent comparison process based on their financial needs and is not influenced by service providers’ commissions or advertising. The result is a user-friendly experience that empowers users to make better informed decisions efficiently, saving both time and money.
