battleface, a travel insurance provider active in the US, the UK, Europe, and Canada, is set to launch in Australia.

battleface offers embedded modular insurance for partners and customers across 185 countries. Its approach to unbundling travel insurance providers’ flexibility and customisation while making it relevant to distribution partner marketplaces and their customers.

“When travel insurance is unbundled into individual benefits, partners can build their own products on top of APIs with precise benefits driving higher conversion and overall customer satisfaction. By partnering with compatible brands across Australia, we’re able to offer customers access to products based on their actual travel needs and itineraries,” said Matt McLellan, managing director for Australia at battleface.
