• Starting from RM35, get insured with up to RM300k coverage for medical expenses and accidents

• Fully in-app application takes under 3 minutes

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, 18 JANUARY 2024 – BigPay, the leading Southeast Asian finance app launched its latest offering, BigPay TravelEasy - a comprehensive travel insurance underwritten by Tune Protect Malaysia (“Tune Protect”). Starting today, BigPay users will be able to apply for their travel insurance within the BigPay app, with the application process taking just minutes.

As BigPay enhances its suite of offerings with a core focus on enhancing 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, Indonesia, and its latest addition of China via Alipay & Alipay+ merchants.

“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”, Zubin Rada Krishnan, Group CEO of BigPay shares. “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,” he adds.

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 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.”

Providing worldwide coverage with plans starting from RM35 for international trips, BigPay users will be insured for accidents and unexpected medical expenses and travel inconveniences such as loss of baggage, travel delays, and more. Via the BigPay app, BigPay users are able to apply for TravelEasy insurance in five easy steps:
