PassportCard Nomads (PassportCard), a global travel and international health insurance company with a network of two million members across 150 countries, has launched a new service for digital nomads and remote workers.
With many countries going digital and prioritising tech innovation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, PassportCard has decided to release a simple and 100% tailored tool: PassportCard red credit card.
The credit card was developed to help digital nomads and remote workers if they have a medical emergency and need a doctor by allowing users to “top up” the card in real-time, providing location agnostic and comprehensive protection.
PassportCard CEO Leor Catalan said the launch reflects the company's aim to be the ultimate travel companion for customers.
“Now is a really important time for PassportCard, as we enhance our offering and respond to demand during this ongoing, challenging time for the world. Our end-to-end, digital insurance product is a creation of diligent marketplace analysis and our commitment to putting customers and their needs first,” Catalan said, as reported by Travel Daily News.
Remote working has allowed a new generation of workers to learn new skills, build their network, and deliver quality service while travelling globally.
Additionally, digital nomads – driven by lifestyle, freedom, geo-arbitrage, and flexibility that often make medical treatment and relevant insurance a challenge – have become a significant part of the global economy, contributing a total of 35 million people. Considering the lifestyle of this type of worker, PassportCard thought its clients need an instant and accessible digital solution.
“Now, for the very first time, there is a serious insurance option available for the digital nomad community – no matter where they are – that works in real-time and without the burden of laborious paperwork,” Catalan said. “Our dedicated app and trusty red card [free] our customers up to focus on the things that really matter – living life to the fullest.
“We look forward to becoming a reliable problem solver for nomads and remote workers while delivering our relentless commitment to purpose, passion, and people.”
