New partnership expands Staysure’s offering into travel currency and money transfer services for the first time.
As part of its ongoing mission to offer a range of highly competitive, personally tailored products and services, market-leading over-50s insurance and travel specialist, Staysure has partnered with two other industry leaders – TorFX and ICE International Currency Exchange.
The new partnership will allow Staysure customers to have access to money-saving international money transfers services – from travel currency to buying a property overseas. Staysure will help people make their spending money go further by securing a competitive exchange rate and offering complete security and insured delivery.
ICE will provide its multi-award winning currency cards to Staysure customers, making spending money overseas both more practical and more cost-effective. Benefits include free cash withdrawals, a free back-up card and 1.5% cashback on qualifying services.
TorFX are also on board to help manage larger and recurrent transfers. By challenging the exchange rates offered by banks by as much as 90% and operating on a fee-free basis, TorFX can help customers save significant amounts on international currency transfers, whether it is for funding an emigration or meeting smaller regular overseas expenses.
Staysure is now recognised as a major success story, with millions of happy customers and hundreds of employees across the group. It is one of the UK’s fastest growing insurance and financial service providers offering a range of highly competitive products and services tailored for people over the age of 50. The company’s travel insurance division offers a comprehensive range of Defaqto 5 Star rated policies at competitive prices and has insured millions of travellers, providing cover for a wide range of pre-existing medical conditions and with no upper age limit on many policies. Following customer feedback, the business launched Staysure Travel in 2015, which is a fully bonded member of ABTA and ATOL, giving customers full protection, peace of mind and financial security.
Chris Rolland, CEO of Staysure said: “Partnering with TorFX and ICE was a natural choice for Staysure and we are delighted that we can now offer services as diverse as insured foreign currency delivery to the home, fee-free international transfer and practical currency cards. Staysure’s mission is to enable customers to enjoy the lifestyle they want, by offering novel and affordable products and services tailored to over 50s. We are extremely pleased to be working closely with TorFX and ICE whose services complement our goals as a business and will offer practical and hassle-free solutions to our customers.”
TorFX CEO Jon Beddell said: “TorFX is proud to offer our money saving international payments service to Staysure clients. Our focus on providing great exchange rates and excellent customer service are consistent with Staysure’s core ethos and client base.”
Koko Sarkari, COO of ICE adds: “This partnership with Staysure is a major endorsement for the quality of service delivered by ICE. Our organisations have enormous synergies when it comes to delivering a great service to travellers across the UK. Along with a link to ICE from the Staysure website, we will also host a link to the Staysure website from www.iceplc.com, opening up the brand’s services to wider audience. We hope this is the start of a long and successful partnership.”
All three companies have enjoyed notable success in their respective fields, with Staysure recently being listed as one of the ‘1000 Companies to Inspire Britain’, TorFX being shortlisted for the 2016 Consumer Moneyfacts Award for International Money Provider of the Year, and ICE winning the Best Travel Companion category in the 2015 Pay Before Awards.
