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.

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.
