machine learning and accelerating its product, development, micro service 
capabilities which are currently serving more than 400,000 employees, Fortune 
500 companies and partners across 20 markets.

Said Rosaline Chow Koo, Founder and CEO of CXA Group, "We are in a unique 
position as the only solution which provides a tech platform delivering a 
seamless end-to-end experience from insurance, health, banking & wellness.

We have received overwhelming response from clients who wish to use our 
technology or be part of our eco-system, it's time for us to expand our 
development capabilities. Setting up a tech hub in Vietnam provides us access 
to a large talent pool so we can focus on building state-of-the-art technology.

To lead the rapid tech expansion, CXA brings tech veteran Thorsten Maus, as 
Head of Information Technology. Thorsten has built tech teams and platforms for 
e-commerce, payment and financial companies and will oversee CXA's Tech and 
Development teams both in Singapore and China and the various CXA tech hubs 
across the region to help streamline and continually develop and improve our 
platform."

Thorsten Maus added, "This is the start of a new chapter for CXA Group. I am 
excited by the potential of our tech hubs, starting with Ho Chi Minh City. 
Together with CXA tech teams in Singapore and China, CXA will rapidly scale our 
product delivery to our customers globally."

CXA's platform and eco-system has changed the landscape for HRs and is being 
rolled out for Banks and Insurers. The company has pioneered a one-stop, 
self-service platform that allows employers to give their employees access to 
an ever-widening range of health, wealth and wellness offerings, personalised 
based on the individual's health and life-stage data. Employees can draw down 
on duplicate insurance policies provided by their employers or spouse's 
employers and use funds that are then released into the platform's e-wallet to 
increase the balance in their e-wallets, and to purchase these offerings with 
cashless, fast and easy transactions. 

Through the aggregation, anonymisation and analysis of digitised health and 
life-stage data, CXA helps employers get to the root cause of their workforces' 
health issues and design specific interventions - such as corporate wellness 
and disease management initiatives. As part of its health ecosystem, CXA 
integrates directly with clinics, giving clients and partners a savings of up 
to 25% on outpatient costs.
