‘Travel Now’ makes travel insurance more accessible for Indian travellers
DBS Bank India has introduced ‘Travel Now’, a travel marketplace within the digibank app, which also sells travel insurance
The new feature enables customers to browse and book flights, bus tickets and hotels across hundreds of destinations within and outside of India. Customers can also opt for travel insurance, offered by Bharti AXA General Insurance, with an automated claims process for flight cancellation, flight departure and arrival delays of over 60 minutes.
Digibank’s intuitive UX is designed to remember customer preferences and deliver a customised and hassle-free experience. Customers can make payments using their digibank account through a one-click payment process.
Automated claim solution included in the app
Commenting on the new feature, Kartik Jain, Executive Director at Digital Bank, DBS Bank India, said: “Recognising that customers often spend significant time navigating multiple sites for their travel arrangements, we have introduced a one-stop-shop in digibank to cater to all their travel needs and streamline their booking process. The Travel Now proposition provides an intuitive booking experience, including bespoke flight cover with automated claims solution, and hassle-free one-click payment from the customer's DBS account. The proposition aligns with our focus on delivering innovative and seamless solutions to address our customers' needs.”
The integrated insurance offering is available for flight and bus bookings in partnership with Bharti AXA General Insurance Company Ltd. Designed to address customer pain-points and key challenges in their travel journey, the insurer auto-detects flight delays and flight cancellations and notifies customers, while enabling an automatic claims process. The claim journey is a simple, two-click process, and the claim payment is directly credited to the customer’s account.
