No. You don’t need to do anything. Everything will continue as normal.

If you buy a new plan after the sale takes place, it will be issued by IMG. This won’t affect the level of coverage you receive or the non-insurance services that are automatically included.

Your plan details and personal information, including all individuals covered under the plan, will be securely transferred to IMG so that your coverage can continue and you can continue to receive services.

Your information will continue to be handled in line with applicable data protection laws, our global privacy policy and where applicable the policy in your country of residence. It will also continue to be shared with relevant partners (such as the plan insurer) and, for a period, with nib to support a smooth transition.

You have the right to object to your data being transferred to IMG, however if you have an active policy with us at the time of the sale completing, it may need to be cancelled as continuity cannot occur without your data.

There is no change to how you make a claim. Any existing or new claims will continue to be handled as normal and will not be affected by this change.

No. The sale of World Nomads is unrelated to the rebranding of our claims administrator.

Trip Mate is rebranding to "Redion," but the company itself is not changing. This is simply a name change and will not impact customers, claims handling, or the services provided.

World Nomads is currently updating its website and materials to reflect the new name, effective January 1st, 2027.

If you have any questions or need help, you can contact Customer Service Team by email or phone. Any existing questions or complaints will continue to be handled without disruption.

You can also continue to use the contact details provided in your plan documents. They will remain unchanged post completion of the sale of the World Nomads business to IMG.
