The Perfect Travel Insurance

 

Cancellation

If you are unexpectedly unable to start your trip, your costs are covered – for example in the event of illness, accident, pregnancy complications, or unforeseen job loss of an insured family member.

Delayed Departure

If you have to start your trip at a later date for an insured reason, we cover the resulting cancellation or rebooking costs – for example in the event of illness, accident, or sudden job loss.

Interruption

If you have to unexpectedly interrupt your trip or return earlier, unused travel services as well as additional return travel and accommodation costs are covered – for example in the event of illness, accident, or a family emergency.

Luggage Insurance

Your baggage is protected worldwide: in the event of damage, loss, or theft, we cover the repair or replacement up to the agreed maximum amount.

Delayed or Damaged Baggage

Baggage delay and baggage damage. If your baggage arrives late (from 4 hours), we reimburse essential replacement purchases such as clothing or hygiene items.
In case of damage, loss, or theft, baggage insurance also applies.

Questions and answers

 

Why do I need to update my information and verify my identity?

Updating your customer information and verifying your identity again are required by law. This ensures that your details are up to date and that you can continue to use your Travel Card without restrictions in the future.

What happens if I don’t update my information?

If you do not update your information within the specified time frame, we will be unable to continue providing your Travel Card due to legal requirements. The card will be blocked and can no longer be used. Additionally, your customer account will be transferred to “contactless” status, which incurs an annual fee of CHF 45.–.

How can I activate TravelProtect travel insurance?

Once you’ve successfully updated your customer information in the Swiss Bankers app, you can easily activate the travel insurance. In the app, tap “TravelProtect” below your card and follow the on-screen steps.

Will Travel continue to be sold through other channels?

Yes, the Travel card will continue to be offered directly by Swiss Bankers via its own website and app. It is also available from over 200 distribution partners.

Adding the Travel card to the Swiss Bankers App is easy:

  1. Open the Swiss Bankers App and log in.
  2. Tap the red plus icon in the top right corner of the main menu.
  3. Select ‘Add card’ and follow the steps.

Your Travel card is now stored in the app and ready to use.

I have forgotten my PIN code, what can I do?

If your Travel card is already activated in the Swiss Bankers app, you can easily set a new PIN code under “Card settings & PIN”.

If your card is not yet stored in the app, please add it first. To do this, tap the red plus symbol in the top right-hand corner of the main menu and select “Add card”.
