Credit card travel insurance is a complimentary insurance benefit offered by selected credit cards in Singapore. It provides limited protection against overseas medical emergencies, personal accidents, trip disruptions, and baggage-related losses when eligible travel expenses are charged to the card.
Unlike standalone travel insurance, this benefit is not automatically activated. Cardholders must meet specific payment and, in some cases, registration requirements before departure. Coverage limits and exclusions vary by issuer and card tier.
Major banks in Singapore, including UOB, Citi, HSBC, CIMB, and American Express, offer this benefit on selected cards in 2026.
