Protect Group, a leader in ancillary travel products, has announced a strategic partnership with Blink Parametric to enhance travel protection solutions through its Protect Marketplace platform.
The partnership introduces Blink Parametric’s cutting-edge parametric technology into the offering, creating a seamless experience for customers impacted by travel disruptions, according to FF News.
With immediate access to Flight Disruption and Delayed Baggage Protection services, travellers will benefit from fast, data-driven solutions that enable instant support in cases of flight delays and lost luggage.
Protect Group is well-regarded for its comprehensive range of travel-related products and services. Notably, the company operates the Protect Marketplace, which provides Refund Protect, Flight Delay, and Delayed Baggage Protection products.
The firm differentiates itself by not acting as a traditional insurance provider, enabling it to offer these services globally without regional restrictions. The company’s focus remains on providing convenient and innovative travel solutions to enhance the traveller’s experience.
Blink Parametric’s platform transforms conventional travel insurance by automating assessments and offering immediate payouts based on predefined triggers, such as flight delays or baggage issues.
This system bypasses the lengthy, complex claim process that traditional insurance often requires, allowing travellers to experience quick, hassle-free compensation when needed.
The move will enable the firm to extend its reach to a broad network of travel operators and service providers, delivering customer-centric solutions at scale.
This integration with Protect Marketplace allows travel operators to access Blink Parametric’s services with minimal technical setup. Once implemented, partners can utilise real-time data to ensure eligible travellers receive immediate compensation for disruptions, eliminating the need for manual claims and enhancing customer satisfaction.
Jason Walsh, chief product & marketing officer at Protect Group, said, “We’re excited to collaborate with Blink Parametric to expand Protect Marketplace with parametric travel protection solutions. This partnership enhances our offering by making travel disruption services faster, simpler, and more customer-focused—meeting the needs of our partners and their customers.”
Sid Mouncey, CEO at Blink Parametric, added, “Accessing service providers across the travel and tourism sector is an opportunity for us to deliver responsive, data-driven insurance solutions at scale. Partnering with Protect Group allows us to remove the pain points of traditional insurance whilst bringing real-time, customer-friendly protection via their partner base to more travellers, helping them manage the unexpected with ease.”
