Singapore’s DBS Bank announced the beta launch of its integrated travel platform, DBS Travel Marketplace, in partnership with Singapore Airlines, Expedia Partner Solutions, and Chubb Insurance Singapore.
With the platform, consumers will be able to find flight fares and hotel rates for more than 25,000 global destinations, as well as free travel insurance coverage underwritten by Chubb Insurance.
The beta launch follows a recently signed memorandum of understanding between DBS and Singapore Airlines aimed to enhance capabilities across various digital platforms. Over the next few months, the two companies will enable customers to manage their flight bookings and introduce KrisShop merchandising capabilities on the platform.
With Expedia’s API, the platform will also provide access to competitive hotel deals, including offers from more than 500,000 accommodations listed on Expedia.
The DBS Travel Markeplace is the bank’s fourth integrated digital marketplace. It’s also the first one to support payments. DBS’ other marketplaces serve in the car, property, and electricity categories.
