Blink Parametric enters into global agreement with MAWDY, part of the MAPFRE Group

CPP Group's InsurTech, Blink Parametric, has signed a global agreement with MAWDY, a global insurance, reinsurance and services company and part of the MAPFRE Group.

The agreement provides the structure for MAWDY to deploy Blink's parametric solutions across its global network. The initial launch with MAWDY will see Blink's Flight Delay solution being included in a range of travel insurance products in the Irish market. Under this new offering, when an eligible MAWDY Ireland policyholder's flight is disrupted by more than 3 hours, they get real-time access to one of 1,300+ executive airport lounges worldwide or a cash pay-out alternative. The benefit will be applicable for single trip and annual multi-trip travel insurance customers.

The move reflects an increasing demand for effective real-time travel insurance solutions to support travellers in their time of need when facing flight delays and cancellations.

Sid Mouncey, CEO of Blink Parametric, commented:

"The new agreement with MAWDY provides further proof points for Blink Parametric's potential in the global insurance marketplace. MAWDY solutions power some of the biggest travel insurance brands across multiple continents and we are delighted that our flight disruption solution will now be offered as standard on Gold and Platinum products for an ever-increasing number of MAWDY Ireland's travel insurance customer base.

Our focus is securing partnerships with large insurers and driving growth in our target geographic markets. The travel sector continues to experience frequent and increasingly large-scale disruptive events which is contributing to a heightened industry need to provide an urgent consumer response. Blink has a major role to play in the restoration of trust in the travel sector, supporting insurers and consumers through the adoption of proactive and innovative flight disruption and luggage insurance solutions."

Speaking of the partnership, Declan Murphy - Head of Commercial, MAWDY Ireland, "One of the core elements of the MAWDY customer strategy is to offer best in class products with genuine added value. Incorporating Blink Parametric real-time flight delay services initially into our direct-to-consumer service offering is just the latest step in our overall innovation and digitalisation strategy, which places superior service delivery as a priority. We will continue to work with Blink Parametric to embed additional real-time assistance services into our products and partner brands over the next 12 months. As one of the industry leaders, this real-time flight disruption solution is a proven and very timely fit that aligns fully with our views on supporting customer care through smart innovation."
