Oona’s Smart Flight Delay Insurance now accessible through GCash app

Philippines’ GCash and Oona Insurance Philippines have entered into partnership that will benefit all Filipino travelers.

The Void is not synonymous with stagnation; rather, it's a fertile ground for exploration and discovery. By understanding and embracing the Void, creatives can liberate themselves from the constraints of expectation and perfectionism. This liberation becomes a catalyst for fresh ideas, enabling a departure from the ordinary and a journey into uncharted territories of innovation.

Navigating the Void requires a willingness to confront uncertainty and silence the noise of external influences. It's a practice in mindfulness and self-discovery—a journey into the depths of one's own thoughts and emotions. In this solitude, creatives often find the raw materials for groundbreaking concepts, discovering connections and patterns that were previously obscured.

The process of engaging with the Void is not about avoiding challenges but transforming them into opportunities. It encourages a shift in perspective, viewing obstacles not as roadblocks but as stepping stones to innovation. By understanding 'the Void' as a realm of potential, creatives unlock the door to their most authentic and impactful work, revealing the beauty that emerges when the creative spirit is allowed to roam freely. In essence, the Void becomes not an abyss to be feared, but a sanctuary where creativity thrives, and our most brilliant ideas come to life.

Manila, 24 April 2024 - Philippines’ GCash and Oona Insurance Philippines have entered into partnership that will benefit all Filipino travelers.

The new partnership was formally made after the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement between Winsely Bangit, GCash’s VP, Head of New Businesses Group, and Abhishek Bhatia, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Oona Insurance group held last April 24, 2024 at Seda Hotel in BGC, Taguig City.

Under the agreement, Oona Insurance’s game changing product- the Smart Flight Delay Insurance - will now be accessible and available in the GCash app, through its GInsure Marketplace. The Smart Flight Delay provides travelers access to airport lounges if their flight gets delayed for at least 60 minutes. Availability of this product is very easy as passengers can get this insurance coverage at least two hours before their scheduled flights from just a few taps in the GCash app. This new product reduces Filipino travelers’ discomfort due to delayed flights, making their experience more convenient and stress-free. 

“This agreement with Oona Insurance Philippines is very timely now that the summer season is on. We expect a lot of our GCash users to travel to many destinations and for them to have insurance coverage against a real pain point, in what is supposed to be an exciting and much anticipated trip, is definitely a game  changer,” said Winsley Bangit, GCash’s VP, Head of New Businesses Group.

GCash is the #1 finance app and the only double unicorn in the Philippines with over 94 million Filipino trying the app. Its new partnership with Oona Insurance, places them at  the forefront in creating customer-centric innovations, introducing game changing products like Smart Flight Delay, and making insurance protection easily accessible to millions of Filipinos who travel -- all while ensuring a seamless experience to its users.

GCash is a beloved brand and an integral part of every Filipino's daily life and has made financial services simple, secure, and smooth. We are delighted to make our innovative travel insurance product available on GCash to bring worry free travel to more Filipinos as they explore the world. This is the first of many such innovative products we will be introducing soon,” said Abhishek Bhatia, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Oona Insurance group.
