The future of travel insurance is set to be revolutionised following a new partnership announcement between two industry front-runners – battleface and insurance.com.au. Cutting-edge provider battleface, lauded for its modular and flexible bespoke insurance products, is now in cahoots with the pioneering firm insurance.com.au to provide superior, competitive cover for Australian customers.
According to a statement issued by both companies, the collaboration marks an important step forward for the travel experience, which will now be rendered seamless and fully customisable through battleface's modular API functionality.
The rapidly expanding battleface has earned its stripes through its dedication to catering to the diverse needs of contemporary travellers with innovative modular insurance products. Having already redesigned travel insurance benefits to accommodate the unique requirements of customers in markets like the U.K, Europe, USA, Canada and Australia, battleface continues to lead the way in providing relevant protection options for today's globe-trotters.
The announced cooperation enables customers of insurance.com.au to customise their travel insurance coverage based on travel agendas, destinations and adventures. The move is primed to streamline the travel experience, offering flexibility and choice to travellers eager to fine-tune their coverage as per their specific travel plans.
Matt McLellan, battleface Managing Director, Australia, said, "We are thrilled to welcome insurance.com.au as our new partner. Being part of the Steadfast Group, insurance.com.au is an industry leader in the insurance space. We're confident we can offer exceptional customer experiences and personalised travel insurance solutions to further evolve their service in 2024. Through this partnership, we'll extend our modular insurance products to insurance.com.au's customers, ensuring they can travel with peace of mind."
Dominique Requin, CEO of insurance.com.au, also expressed excitement over the partnership: "At insurance.com.au, we aim to provide an effortless and streamlined insurance experience through a complete digital journey.
