Established in 2015, Frank Insurance Broker (Thailand) Co. Ltd. (Frank Insurance) has transformed the traditional insurance industry by focusing entirely on online sales. By 2018, the company had built a customer base of over 200,000, with most clients discovering its services through online searches and word of mouth.
Unlike conventional insurance brokers that rely on call centers, Frank Insurance operates exclusively through a digital platform. This innovative approach has earned the company a 4.9-star rating on Facebook, making it the highest-rated insurance provider in Thailand. Its strong reputation highlights its commitment to customer service and user experience, demonstrating that an online-only model can be just as effective—if not more so—than traditional methods.

Overcoming Market Challenges with Digital Innovation
One of the biggest challenges for Frank Insurance is consumer hesitation toward purchasing insurance online. However, the company remains confident in its approach, backed by market intelligence that reveals the limitations of the call center model, which can only scale with an increasing number of sales agents. Instead of expanding its workforce, Frank Insurance has chosen to scale through technology, leveraging a digital platform capable of handling multiple customers simultaneously.
By offering policies that are easy to understand, affordably priced, and instantly issued online, Frank Insurance ensures that its services are not only efficient but also highly accessible. This digital-first model reduces overhead costs, making the company more resilient during economic downturns while maintaining a recession-proof product.
Ambitious Growth Plans for the Future
Frank Insurance envisions becoming the number one insurance marketplace in Asia within the next decade. The company is already strengthening its market position by forming partnerships with multiple underwriters, offering a comprehensive range of life and non-life insurance products. Additionally, Frank Insurance is in the process of integrating with 1,000 B2B partners, further demonstrating the scalability of its digital platform.
Its leadership firmly believes that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can achieve success beyond their local markets. Since its business growth is driven by digital systems rather than physical expansion, Frank Insurance can replicate its model in multiple countries with minimal setup costs.
Staying Competitive in a Rapidly Evolving Industry
In a highly competitive industry where new players emerge frequently, Frank Insurance remains agile by adhering to its core philosophy: “Fast, Simple, and Yours.” This motto reflects the company’s mission to provide customized insurance solutions quickly, transparently, and efficiently.
Frank Insurance is also aware of the potential for mainstream insurance providers to recognize the growing influence of e-insurance and enter the digital space. This possibility keeps the company focused on continuous innovation, ensuring it remains ahead of industry trends.
Commitment to Employee Development and Corporate Social Responsibility
Although the company operates with a lean workforce, it prioritizes employee development by offering language courses for Thai staff to learn English, insurance training programs, and financial support for licensing exams. While corporate social responsibility (CSR) is not yet a major focus due to the company’s growth stage, Frank Insurance still participates in annual CSR initiatives, such as tree planting activities during company trips.
With a clear vision for the future and a commitment to digital transformation, Frank Insurance is redefining the insurance industry in Thailand and beyond, proving that innovation and customer-centricity are the keys to success in the digital age.
