Irish insurtech Blink partners up with Terrawind Global

Leading Irish insurtech, Blink, has a nnounced a collaboration with the global travel assistance provider, Terrawind Global Protection.  

The partnership will enable Blink to branch into the Latin American marketplace and deliver tailor-made travel solutions to customers embarking on leisure and business travel. 

Blink provides data-driven travel disruption solutions, and uses tools to track flights in real-time when customers book their travel. If a cancellation or delay occurs, the customer is notified of the change, which enables them to search for a real-time resolution to the problem. 

Meanwhile, Terrawind Global Protection’s clients are provided with options that make travelling less stressful - including airport lounge access if a flight is delayed by more than three hours. Clients are also financially compensated for delays and stress through immediate deposits into their PayPal accounts.
