SeaMoney, the financial services arm of Sea Limited, has partnered with Allianz General Insurance Malaysia to launch a new Travel Insurance, offering comprehensive protection for domestic and international travellers from an affordable price of RM3 and RM10 per day, respectively. It can be purchased conveniently on Shopee, the e-commerce platform owned by Sea Limited.

In a statement, SeaMoney said that policyholders will be able to get up to RM150,000 personal accident coverage, and up to RM165,000 medical coverage, including hospitalisation and Covid-19 protection. These are on top of compensations offered for travel inconveniences that travellers may face during their journeys, such as travel curtailment, travel and luggage delays, and trip cancellations.

Head of SeaMoney Malaysia, Alain Yee said that the launch of the Travel Insurance is intended to make insurance and protection more easily accessible to Malaysians everywhere. “Travelling has always been something many Malaysians look forward to, cherishing their free time or making the most of the festive seasons and school holidays. By partnering with Allianz, we aimed to make acquiring travel insurance a much simpler process for Malaysians, offering them peace of mind on their trips within just a few clicks,” he said.

Chief executive officer of Allianz General, Sean Wang also echoed a similar sentiment. “Travel insurance has always been an integral yet overlooked form of protection. There are many things that can otherwise spoil what is an enjoyable experience. Through this partnership, we are thrilled to involve more Malaysians in the insurance industry and keep them protected so they can travel worry-free and with full confidence,” he commented.

In conjunction with the launch of the Travel Insurance plan on Shopee, Malaysians can currently tap into a 25% discount on their premiums when they purchase the plan on Shopee. Group travellers who are travelling in groups of five or more can also enjoy a 5% discount per insured person.
