About justInCase’s P2P Insurance

P2P insurance (https://p2p-cancer.justincase.jp) is an insurance product that allows a group of insureds to share their risks among themselves. The P2P model emphasizes the concept of mutual support and eliminates the conflict of interests between the insurers and the insureds.
The first P2P insurance we are launching covers cancer. The one-off benefit payment is ¥800,000. Insurance premiums are post-paid. The amount of premiums are determined by the total benefit payment paid adding up with the management fees received by justInCase divided by the total number of members every month.
