Aon and Paypal to Expand Access to Insurance for Small Businesses

− Unique and simplified digital experience will enable PayPal's small business customers in the U.S. to explore and obtain their insurance in the same ecosystem they use to manage their payments

Aon plc (NYSE: AON) and PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) today announced an initiative to help millions of PayPal's small business customers in the U.S. access insurance simply and quickly.

The unique digital insurance program will enable PayPal's small business customers in the U.S. to shop for, purchase and manage insurance coverage through Aon's CoverWallet solution on the PayPal Commerce Platform , online and in minutes. Customers can also obtain personalized advice and guidance from Aon's licensed insurance advisors.

PayPal already offers a range of solutions to help small businesses manage risk, like Seller Protection, Fraud Protection and Chargeback Protection (Terms apply. Fees may apply). By working with Aon, PayPal will be able to provide its small business customers with streamlined access to small business insurance via Aon's CoverWallet solution on the PayPal Commerce Platform. Small business owners in the U.S. are confronted with the challenge of selecting the most appropriate insurance for their business, and they may not have the time to research, shop for and purchase insurance. As a result, many of these businesses are underinsured, meaning they do not have the proper insurance coverage to fully protect their business. This new initiative is designed to address some of the most persistent challenges small businesses face with their insurance decisions — time, effort, choice and cost.

"We share PayPal's culture of innovating on behalf of clients and this initiative is one way we are addressing our clients' most pressing needs," said Roberto Pinto , president of Digital Client Solutions at Aon. "We are uniquely positioned to develop and deliver a digital solution to PayPal that will expand access to insurance for small businesses, which is often an underserved market, and ultimately help them make better decisions to grow and protect their business. By bringing together CoverWallet's digital capabilities and integrating it into PayPal's existing offering for small businesses, we have created a unique experience that simplifies accessing and obtaining insurance for millions of merchants."

PayPal's small business customers in the U.S. will benefit from real-time visibility into the typical coverage and average costs for their insurance needs, a breadth of online quotes and coverage options from top carriers, and the convenience of purchasing insurance with their PayPal accounts via Aon's CoverWallet solution.

"This is a challenging time for small businesses and this initiative can help make it easier for PayPal's small business customers to access a range of insurance solutions to help keep their businesses protected," said Jim Magats , SVP, Payments and SMB Solutions, PayPal. "The program moves forward PayPal's mission to democratize access to the digital payments and commerce solutions small businesses need to manage their end-to-end business, including managing risk and protecting their finances. Aon's digital capabilities, risk expertise, insurance carrier relationships and ability to deliver new solutions tailored to our specific small business customers is key to delivering this program."

The insurance program is live in the U.S. as of April 4, 2022 . More information is available here .

PayPal Acquires TIO Networks

Core Innovation Capital and the Center for Financial Services Innovation has announced that their portfolio company has been acquired by PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL).
As quoted in the press release:

CFSI, the nation’s authority on financial health, made an early investment in TIO Networks in 2005. Core, a venture capital firm investing in leading financial technology companies, invested in TIO in 2013 as part of their mandate to create value for everyday and underserved Americans.
TIO is a cloud-based multi-channel bill payment processor that has processed over $7 billion in payments in 2016 for its 14 million customers. The company delivers convenient access to secure bill pay via kiosk, walk-in, mobile and web solutions.
“Our exceptional financial return is further enhanced by the fact that TIO is one of the most impactful fintechs in the industry, now becoming part of PayPal,” said Arjan Schütte, founder and managing partner of Core.
“PayPal’s acquisition of TIO represents one of CFSI’s greatest impacts to date,” said Jennifer Tescher, founder and CEO of CFSI. “In TIO, we made an early investment that helped a strong innovator become a financial health champion, and the company has built an incredible business around a real consumer pain point, shaped it, and demonstrated that it can be done profitably. Under the larger umbrella of PayPal, TIO should scale even further to benefit more Americans.”
Seventy-nine percent of TIO’s customers are low-to-moderate income, of which a majority pays their bills by giving cash to a teller at a convenience or other retail location. One of the reasons both CFSI and Core invested is that these bills, when expedited, can be extremely expensive. When Core invested in 2013, TIO saved its customers $192 per year on walk-in bill pay charges, relative to the most common alternatives in the market. This translates to an aggregate savings of $290 million in that year alone. TIO is one of the most impactful companies in Core’s portfolio in terms of number of customers served and ratio of underserved customers.
