SINGAPORE--(Marketwired - Oct 12, 2017) -  Chubb today announced the launch of a suite of value-added services for leisure travelers. Known as Chubb Connect , these services include complimentary Wi-Fi and SOS Alerts as a start. Piloted in Australia since May this year, Chubb Connect is now also available in New Zealand and Singapore. The app will be launched progressively to other countries in the region in due course.

Jon Ford, Head of Partnership Distribution for Chubb Asia Pacific, said, "We know that when our customers are traveling, access to Wi-Fi connectivity is considered highly valuable and important to enhance their travel experience. With the Chubb Connect app, not only do customers stay connected but they can also opt to receive SOS alerts informing them of travel disruptions as and when these happen. Delivered in real-time via the app, SMS and email, our customers can make informed decisions before and during their travels. The app also connects travelers to our 24/7 Emergency Hotline if they require help in a foreign land."
