Budget Direct Insurance has made our online car insurance experience easier, faster, and more secure by allowing motorists to use Myinfo, accessed via Singpass.

Simple, Speedy and Secure

While the Internet has revolutionised the way we transact with everything from shops to government agencies, filling-in personal details fields can sometimes feel like our primary online activity.

Want to buy some shoes online? Fill in personal details. Grocery order? Personal details. Buy insurance online? Personal details.

The problem is not only that filling in the same information repeatedly is tiresome; sometimes a fat finger hits an incorrect key, and the result is a disaster. You really don’t want to show up at the airport with your name spelled incorrectly on your ticket, for instance. The only thing you’re waving goodbye to in that situation is your holiday.

And there are potential security issues with all your information out there. Do you know what happens to your personal information after filling in a form on a website? Can you trust every single website you go to for online shopping?

There is a simpler, and more secured, way.

Let’s say you want a quote on car insurance from Budget Direct Insurance. If you’re a Singpass user, you can opt to use Myinfo, a Singapore government digital service that allows you to auto-populate online forms with participating businesses such as Budget Direct Insurance.

Budget Direct Insurance is only provided the personal data that is relevant to processing your transaction, data that is stored safely using cybersecurity industry best practices implemented by the government.

And it all means you get a simpler online experience.
