AXA Partners extends partnership with Coverwise

AXA Partners in the UK and Ireland has entered into a new long-term contract with travel insurer Coverwise.

Expanding on a partnership that started in Germany and Italy in 2011 before extending into the UK in 2016, they will work closely to develop an affordable product suite for customers.

AXA Partners is also supporting Coverwise’s expansion plans and the diversification of its existing product offering.

Mark Shaw, managing director at Coverwise, said: “The provision of dependable and trustworthy insurance for travellers is a vital service, particularly in light of Covid-19 and the forthcoming changes to the European Health Insurance programme.”

“Following a close and collaborative partnership over the past 10 years, we are pleased to extend our long-term relationship with AXA Partners and look forward to working together to deliver added-value protection and service in both new and existing territories.” 

Both partners are putting digital advancements at the forefront, in order to improve the customer experience. Paul Moloney, general manager for Ireland and account director for the UK at AXA Partners, commented: “After many years of partnering successfully, we are delighted to be able to continue our relationship with Coverwise.”

“At AXA Partners, we have been extremely busy transforming the digitalisation of our business, for the benefit of both our partners and their customers. Therefore, we are pleased to see the digital plans that Coverwise also has in place, whilst exploring new markets and products.”

“We are looking forward to working together in the next phase of our partnership and continuing to protect and add value to Coverwise customers.”
