BigPay TravelEasy Powered by Tune Protect
As BigPay enhances its offerings with a core focus on improving the traveller payment experience, the launch of BigPay TravelEasy aims to highlight the importance of getting insured for your travels while making the purchase convenient and affordable.
Earlier this year, BigPay launched its DuitNow Cross-Border QR Payment for Malaysians to pay in Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia, and its latest addition of China via Alipay & Alipay+ merchants. Group CEO of BigPay, Zubin Rada Krishnan mentioned;
“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 often 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.”
Commenting on the partnership, Jubin Mehta, Chief Executive Officer of Tune Protect Malaysia, said, “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 an excellent example of being present on platforms where the consumers are already so that we can deliver our services seamlessly to them, and in this case, travel insurance for BigPay users.”
Providing worldwide coverage with plans starting from RM35 for international trips, BigPay users will be insured for accidents, unexpected medical expenses and travel inconveniences such as loss of baggage, travel delays, and more. Via the BigPay app, BigPay users can apply for TravelEasy insurance in five easy steps:
- Step 1: Open the BigPay app and tap “Insurance” under “Utilities.”
- Step 2: Tap “TravelEasy – Individual”
- Step 3: Tap “Get a quote”
