Crum & Forster enters employee benefits space

Crum & Forster’s accident & health division announced a new partnership with insurance program administrator ViaSafely to introduce annual travel protection as a voluntary employee benefit, marking C&F’s entry into the employee benefits space.

First available through bswift’s benefits administration platform, the offering allows employees to elect annual travel protection for themselves and their families through a simple, fixed-cost payroll-deduction model and through marketplace offerings that can remain available outside the traditional annual open enrollment window. The annual protection covers domestic and international trips and includes access to 24/7 concierge trip planning, and emergency and medical assistance while traveling.

“Through our partnership with ViaSafely, C&F is helping participating employers offer employees a new way to access annual travel protection through the workplace benefits experience. By making this coverage available through employer benefits programs and marketplace offerings, we are aligning travel protection with the way people make benefits decisions today.” – Marc Flood, Senior Vice President, Business Development at Crum & Forster.
