Getsafe teams up with GoCompare; continues UK expansion

By Megha Bhattacharya

Digital insurance provider Getsafe has partnered with price comparison website GoCompare, thus making the former’s app-based insurance accessible to the UK market. The Getsafe App aims to empower customers to take control of their insurance policies and simply manage them on their smartphones.

Getsafe’s customers can upgrade or cancel their policies in the app with no additional fees, or file claims via a chatbot. The company aims to offer transparent and user-oriented services. The partnership enables Getsafe to offer greater flexibility to customers, beneficial for individuals who rent and not in search for a long-term contract.

Christian Wiens explained, “The UK is very important but also a very competitive market. Innovation is what will make us stand out, and that’s what we’re all about. In the 20-35 age group, there is a huge demand for a digital experience for financial services. Despite this, there aren’t many providers that offer this. By working with GoCompare, we want to close this gap in the market.”

Getsafe is a fully digital insurance company that aims to help people cover themselves and their universe from their smartphone. The Getsafe app is available to customers 24/7 and 365 days a year, allowing them to file claims or change their coverage in real-time.
