BigPay users will be able to apply for their travel insurance, BigPay TravelEasy, within the app starting today with the application process taking just minutes.

The new comprehensive travel insurance product is underwritten by Tune Protect Malaysia and made possible through a collaboration with Senang.io, an insurtech partner of BigPay.

BigPay TravelEasy aims to provide users with quick and convenient access to travel insurance, which covers a range of issues such as accidents, medical emergencies, baggage loss, and travel delays. The insurance plans are available for international travel starting from RM35.

Users can simply open the BigPay app, tap on ‘Explore’, and then select “Insurance”. From there, they can choose “TravelEasy – Individual” and tap on “Get a quote”. The next step is to fill in their travel details, select the desired insurance plan, and proceed to checkout.

The launch of TravelEasy is part of BigPay’s ongoing efforts to enhance its services for travelers. Earlier in the year, BigPay introduced the DuitNow Cross-Border QR Payment, enabling Malaysians to make payments in several Asian countries.

Additionally, in October 2023, BigPay integrated its payment services into the airasia superapp, allowing seamless booking and payment for travel-related services.

“We’re excited to be giving customers the ability to conveniently, simply and affordably insure themselves for their travels through BigPay TravelEasy, powered by Tune Protect. Buying travel insurance is often something that slips our mind–with TravelEasy you can get it done and get protected whenever you have a few minutes to spare before you fly.

 

Beyond the ability to just top-up your wallet, and spend using your Visa card or through cross-border QR, this is another way BigPay provides travellers with peace of mind when they journey abroad,”

said Zubin Rada Krishnan, Group CEO of BigPay.

“We are constantly working on widening our partner base in the lifestyle sphere to not only offer insurance propositions to our customers, but also embedding it into our partners’ offerings for their customers.

 

This collaboration is a great example of being present on platforms where the consumers are already on so that we can deliver our services seamlessly to them, and in this case, travel insurance for BigPay users,”

said Jubin Mehta, Chief Executive Officer of Tune Protect Malaysia.
