Managed by AXA TianPing, AXA’s property and casualty company in China, the Mini Program has been integrated into the WeChat Go ecosystem.
The “AXA Go” Mini Program will provide Chinese travellers with an optimised customer journey besides helping them to plan and purchase suitable insurance coverage through WeChat Pay before departure.
During journey, AXA Go will provide one-click, round the clock global emergency access to AXA Assistance’s services, including hospital admission, and repatriation, as well as access to AXA customer service.
After completion of their journey, the platform will help users to file paperless claims as well as earn points in the “AXA Go” membership programme.
