SiriusPoint Ltd, the Bermudian-headquartered global specialty insurer and reinsurer, has announced a new partnership with Gigasure, an insurtech start-up offering personalised travel insurance.

London-based Gigasure launched last month, offering personalised travel insurance for travellers and backpackers.

As a distribution partner, policies will be underwritten by SiriusPoint. International Medical Group Inc, a global insurance and assistance services company and subsidiary of SiriusPoint, will provide claims and assistance services.

Chris Price, head of Travel in the Accident and Health team at SiriusPoint, said: “With the ability for policyholders to customise their cover on the go, and to obtain real-time flight and baggage delay support through the use of parametric products, we believe that Gigasure has a truly unique offering. We look forward to partnering with the team and supporting them to reach their ambitions.”
