YouTrip launches in-app travel insurance for travellers in Singapore
Singaporean neobank YouTrip has launched a new travel insurance product on its multi-currency app for all local users
Rolled out in conjunction with online insurance provider HL Assurance (HLAS), travellers can now purchase a single-trip policy directly on the YouTrip app.
Caecilia Chu, CEO and Co-Founder of YouTrip, commented: "In this post-pandemic travel world, being covered with comprehensive insurance is an essential on every travellers' checklist. Likewise, this integration of insurance in our suite of financial services gives users a peace of mind as they embark on new adventures overseas. As a company, this is also a significant step in our work to build a borderless banking product for travellers in the region.”
YouTrip has curated the plan from HLAS with enhanced benefits to cover medical treatments as well as trip cancellations and/or postponement due to Covid-19.
This new travel insurance also builds on the Mastercard Flight Delay Pass travel benefit launched earlier this year. With this Pass, each YouTrip user and a travel companion will be able to access over 1,000 airport lounges worldwide if their pre-registered flights are delayed for at least two hours.
