About KIRA

Our mission is to make money smart, reliable and within reach for everyone. In 2019, we built the first mobile-first, insurance platform, enabling insurance to be accessible online by millions in the region.

Today, it's the leading insurance platform in Southeast Asia. Today, we are expanding ways to help people in Asia and it includes spending, saving, investing, exchanging, travelling, and more.
