Arbol, a global climate risk solutions platform has partnered with Singapore-based insurer Singlife with Aviva to provide it a parametric rainfall insurance product for travellers.
Singlife stated that it is the first insurer in Singapore to offer this innovative parametric insurance product designed to help consumers manage the impact of unexpected weather conditions in an increasingly volatile environment.
Singlife will pay up to S$150 to travellers whose single trip plans are disrupted by heavy rainfall.
The Rainfall Protection parametric insurance can be triggered and pay out for travellers who encounter more than 6.4mm of daily rainfall at their destination cities, for more than 50% of their trip duration.
All countries and regions globally are included in the Rainfall Protection coverage, with the exception of certain countries in the Middle East and Africa.
Pan Jinglong, Head, General Insurance, Singlife with Aviva, said: “We are pleased to be the first insurer in Singapore offering this innovative Rainfall Protection coverage, which adds another dimension to our comprehensive and award-winning travel insurance portfolio. Singlife has taken a significant step in advancing the next generation of sustainability-centric insurance solutions, leading the way for our industry to prepare our customers for evolving climate conditions during their travels.”

This cutting-edge programme leverages Arbol’s industry leading pricing tools and dedicated data infrastructure to provide travellers with a novel solution for managing climate risks.
