We are excited to announce a transformative partnership between Bambu and Counter, a pioneering platform dedicated to automating and expediting insurance claims. This alliance signifies a powerful step forward in our shared vision of using technology to create impactful, community-centric solutions. Counter’s innovative approach reduces the waiting period for disability payouts from months to just days, fundamentally changing the financial dynamics for individuals in challenging situations.

Counter’s business model is revolutionary; by ensuring disability payments are processed within seven days, they address one of the most significant pain points for individuals facing disabilities—the lengthy delays in receiving necessary financial support. By partnering with Bambu, Counter leverages our advanced digital wallet technology, setting a new standard for accessibility and efficiency in the realm of financial assistance for the disabled community. This collaboration embodies our commitment to enhancing user experiences and delivering substantial, real-world benefits through technological innovation.

About Counter

Counter stands as a beacon of innovation in the insurance industry, dedicated to redefining the support provided to individuals facing disabilities. By eliminating the traditional, protracted waiting periods associated with disability payments, Counter ensures that individuals receive financial support swiftly—within just seven days of a claim. This approach not only alleviates financial strain but also instills a sense of security and dignity among those it serves.

At the core of Counter’s model is a community fund that supports a broad range of expenses, allowing for collective support that strengthens entire communities. Counter’s collaboration with major disability providers, including a partnership with the second largest in the US, underscores its effectiveness and growing influence. Through this innovative model, Counter is able to offer more than just quick payouts; it integrates a comprehensive support system that caters to the urgent needs of disabled individuals and their families.

The Challenges in the Industry

Recent research by Zest highlights that while 71% of employers have seen a rise in demand for well-being benefits, less than half of employees feel their needs are adequately met, with concerns particularly acute among older workers. Employers increasingly recognize the need to match benefits with the actual needs of employees to attract and retain top talent, reflecting a broader industry challenge of aligning benefits with employee expectations and requirements.

For individuals with disabilities, the barriers to obtaining adequate health insurance coverage are even more daunting. Historically, challenges such as prohibitive costs, coverage refusals for pre-existing conditions, and inadequate benefits have left many without necessary support. Even with legislative advancements like the Affordable Care Act and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, gaps remain, particularly around the waiting periods for Medicare eligibility and the general availability of essential services.

Streamlining Access and Offering Exclusive Benefits

Our partnership with Counter leverages Bambu’s digital wallet technology to transform how disability benefits are accessed and enjoyed. Through the integration of digital wallet cards, Counter offers beneficiaries the dual advantages of immediate fund access directly on their phones and valuable retail discounts.

Beneficiaries can directly access their disability payouts through their digital wallet cards, allowing for immediate and seamless financial management right from their smartphones. This capability is crucial for alleviating the financial strains often faced by individuals with disabilities, ensuring that funds are available exactly when they are most needed.

Additionally, these digital wallet cards provide access to exclusive discounts at a network of national retailers. These discounts are carefully chosen to extend the financial resources of beneficiaries, making both essential and non-essential goods more affordable. This feature of the program not only supports financial relief but also enhances the quality of life, offering continuous value that makes a tangible difference in the daily lives of users.

By delivering both instant access to funds and meaningful savings, the digital wallet cards exemplify the innovative use of technology to provide solutions that significantly improve user experiences. This balanced focus on streamlined access and beneficial perks reflects our shared commitment with Counter to empower individuals and enrich their lives beyond just financial assistance.

Building a Supportive Future Together

As our partnership with Counter grows, we are excited about the positive changes we can bring together. This collaboration is more than just combining technologies; it’s about improving the support available to individuals with disabilities.

We are committed to continually finding new ways to enhance our digital wallet cards, making them more effective and far-reaching. Together, we aim to develop a strong support system that addresses immediate needs and promotes ongoing empowerment for individuals.

Our work with Counter is an important step toward a future where support and accessibility are integral parts of daily life. As we progress, we’ll keep our community updated and involved in every step we take.

Join us as we push the boundaries of our technology and make real differences. With Counter, we’re not only addressing needs today; we’re working towards a more inclusive and supportive future for everyone.
