The company hopes that the new travel insurance product will enable it to offer better services and solutions to its customers, as well as reach out to a larger market.

Under the arrangement, Slice ICS will integrate with pan-Asian payments provider 2C2P, which serves 620 million banked and unbanked Southeast Asia customers.

“Slice ICS is an incredible asset that has positioned SOMPO to develop and implement a progressive product solution within a short timeframe.”

Slice Labs CEO Tim Attia said: “This is the type of ecosystem example where advanced financial services, payments, and insurance products are setting a global example for how to reinvent customer experiences.

“Asia is known for pushing the envelope much earlier in adopting new technologies compared to other countries around the world. This makes our vision for ecosystems powered by on-demand insurance a great option for the region and not a customer experience that is decades in the future.”
