Ageas has launched an app targeted at millennials which will enable them to insure up to three items for £15 per month. The app works by the user uploading photos of the items they wish to insure. They can then swipe, in a similar way to dating app Tinder, in order to organise their cover needs. Ageas said the app can cover both possessions and travel experiences. There is no annual contract, no penalty fees, and the option to ‘swipe' possessions in and out.

Aegus has launched a Tinder-style app, called Back Me Up, targeted at millennials that will enable the insurance of up to three items for a monthly fee of £15. After uploading a photo of an item they would like to insure, users may then swipe left or right in accordance with their insurance needs for the product. The app does not require an annual contract, nor does it entail penalty fees, yet covers worldwide travel cover for lost items, cancellations and medical emergencies as well as an annual mobile-screen replacement, even if the user’s phone is not insured.
