Blink Parametric announces its partnership with Gigasure, enabling travellers to access Blink Parametric’s travel assistance products through an app for the first time, simplifying access to real-time benefits. Gigasure policies are underwritten by SiriusPoint (NYSE: SPNT), with claims and assistance services being provided by IMG, a global insurance and assistance services company and subsidiary of SiriusPoint.

Gigasure is a newly launched travel insurance provider that puts customers at the heart of insurance, offering travellers the ability to fully customise their policy based on specific needs and budget requirements. Through its cutting-edge app, policyholders can access the GigaShield Flight and Luggage Delay benefits powered by Blink Parametric, which offers real-time flight and baggage delay support.

Through the Gigasure app, the Flight Delay benefit automatically activates when a policyholder’s registered flight is delayed by 3 hours or more, offering a choice between access to one of over 1,300 executive airport lounges worldwide or a real-time cash payout. The Blink Lost Luggage solution provides a one-time payment directly to the insured traveller once a luggage delay is confirmed, covering any necessary expenses while the luggage is being located.

Both Blink Parametric benefits are data-led and automated through the Gigasure app to deliver an enhanced customer experience, offering real-time assistance options to help alleviate the stress and inconvenience caused by delays.

Ernesto Suarez, CEO, Gigasure commented: “Gigasure is here to make insurance simpler, more personalised, and accessible for travellers, empowering them like never before. By offering innovative solutions like Blink Flight Disruption and Lost Luggage protection, we deliver added value and peace of mind in an unpredictable world. When we designed Gigasure, our goal was to provide an experience, not just an insurance policy that gets bought and forgotten. We were inspired by Blink Parametric’s innovation, which is at the forefront of insurtech and traveltech evolution, just like us. We’re excited to collaborate and bring these unique benefits to market through an app for the first time and look forward to supporting our customers together.”

Sid Mouncey, Chief Executive Officer of Blink Parametric, acknowledged the partnership for supporting ongoing growth in the UK market, “Our Flight Disruption and Lost Luggage solutions fit perfectly into the Gigasure online product portfolio. Backed by SiriusPoint – long-standing specialists in providing international health and expatriate medical insurance, this is another progressive, innovative move within the UK market that we’re delighted to support.”
