Blue Cross, a renowned insurance provider trusted across Canada, and Blink Parametric, an innovative Ireland-based InsurTech company, have announced an extension of their partnership for another three years.
Blue Cross has been a pioneer in offering Blink Parametric’s real-time flight disruption assistance in Canada since October 2018. This solution is now available in eight Canadian provinces, including Ontario, Québec, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, and Prince Edward Island.
The reason behind this enduring partnership is the shared goal of providing stress-free travel experiences to Canadian travellers. With the increasing need for risk management during travel, as highlighted in the latest Blue Cross Travel Study, this collaboration aims to offer real-time solutions for flight disruptions.
Blink Parametric, an InsurTech leader, specializes in providing real-time flight disruption assistance. Their innovative platform monitors flights and offers immediate support in case of delays or cancellations, aligning with the modern traveller’s need for instant and effective solutions. Blue Cross, on the other hand, has established itself as Canada’s most trusted insurance provider, offering a range of insurance services, including travel coverage that assures confidence and peace of mind to millions of Canadians.
This extended agreement marks a significant milestone for Blink Parametric, emphasizing the strength and growth of their partnership with Blue Cross. The collaboration is further supported by Red Consulting, one of Canada’s leading travel consulting firms, enhancing the overall efficacy of the travel assistance solutions offered.
In his statement, Blink Parametric CEO Sid Mouncey expressed pride in the partnership’s evolution and enthusiasm for future prospects, stating, “Blue Cross backed us right out of the gate in 2018, and was the first brand in Canada to use our innovative platform to assist insured travellers experiencing flight delays or cancellations.
“Their decision was prescient back then, ahead of the unprecedented global travel turmoil that was to follow. This agreement speaks volumes for the strength of our long-term collaboration and growth over the past five years. I’m proud of the great teamwork and look forward to the next chapter of serving the Canadian market.”
Tim Bishop, Managing Director of Blue Cross of Canada, also shared his thoughts: “Our teams ensure that our policy holders enjoy travelling with confidence and peace of mind, whether they are exploring Canada or the world.
“Millions of Canadians trust that the travel coverage we offer delivers the assistance they need and we are excited to continue our successful partnership.”
