Overseas Travel Insurance Tops Market with 150,000 Users in Just One YearRecord-Breaking Success with Mobile Phone and Driver InsuranceInnovating the Entire Insurance Process, from Enrollment to Claims”Better Services and Benefits… Our Commitment to Innovation Continues”

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — KakaoPay Insurance, South Korea’s leading digital non-life insurance provider, has reached a major milestone, exceeding 1.5 million enrollments for its overseas travel insurance within just one year of its launch. This rapid growth, unprecedented in the Korean insurance industry, has catapulted KakaoPay Insurance to the top of the market, with an average monthly growth rate of 30.7%.

This success is particularly remarkable in a market where digital channels account for only 4.5% of the industry, which remains heavily dependent on physical channels such as insurance agents.

Since its founding in 2022, KakaoPay Insurance has launched a range of innovative, user-centric products, including financial safety insurance, mobile phone insurance, driver insurance, and infant insurance. By leveraging KakaoTalk, South Korea’s leading messaging app used by more than 80% of the population (41 million users), the company has fully digitized the insurance experience. Every step, from enrollment to claims, has been streamlined for simplicity and convenience, with cost savings passed on to customers.

KakaoPay Insurance’s offerings have quickly gained popularity through word-of-mouth, leading to a series of successes. For example, the mobile phone insurance saw one million enrollments within six months, while the driver insurance attracted over 10,000 enrollments in just one week. The company’s fast and significant growth is credited to its advanced technology and a strong focus on user needs.

– Streamlined Enrollment Process: The Coverage You Need, No Extra Apps Required

Unlike traditional insurance, which often requires separate apps and lengthy login processes, KakaoPay Insurance enables quick enrollment with just a few clicks through the KakaoTalk or KakaoPay apps. The process is simplified with Kakao Sync, reducing unnecessary data entry and enabling users to set up payment information with as few as two clicks if their credit card information is already registered.

A key feature is the ability for users to customize their insurance plans by adding or removing coverage according to their needs, without the need to include unnecessary collateral. This flexibility ensures they only pay for the necessary coverage for the desired period, resulting in more cost-effective premiums.

– Simplified Claims Process: Easily File Claims 24/7

KakaoPay Insurance has also revolutionized the claims process. Using AI-based optical character recognition (OCR) technology, the company enables users to file claims and receive payments swiftly. Users can simply upload the required image-based documents to KakaoTalk, and if the paperwork is complete, claims can be processed in as little as one minute, with simple claims processed in as fast as three seconds.

Customers who do not file any claims during the insurance period may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their premiums. KakaoPay Insurance is the first of its kind in South Korea to offer a 10% no-claims bonus, with 78% of overseas travel insurance enrollees receiving this refund.

“We will continue to reward our customers with even better services and benefits, staying true to our original mission,” said Youngkun Chang, CEO of KakaoPay Insurance. “The innovations we’ve implemented across the entire insurance process, from enrollment to claims, will continue to drive our progress.”

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
