The gap

Cross-border spending grew — protection lagged behind.

Traditional travel insurance is bought in advance and fixed in amount. YAS and AlipayHK embedded cover that adjusts with every trip's spending.

Before YAS

  • Buy cover in advanceTravellers must arrange insurance before departure — disconnected from real-time spending.
  • Cover decoupled from spendingFixed sums insured rarely reflect each trip's actual consumption and risk.
  • Registration and claims frictionExtra sign-up steps and paperwork reduce real-world uptake.

With YAS

  • Cover adjusts with spendingEvery northbound trip triggers protection calculated from accumulated spending.
  • Up to 20× multiplierThe more you spend, the higher your cover — up to HK$100,000 per trip.
  • No registration · mini-app claimsNo advance sign-up; submit details in the YAS mini-app and a specialist follows up within 48 hours.
