1%Singapore-based insurtech Igloo saw revenue rise 46% in 2025, with its embedded insurance business growing 80% year-on-year. The company narrowed net losses by 60% and expects similar improvements this year whilst targeting EBITDA breakeven by year-end. Embedded insurance now accounts for 85% of revenue. Igloo partners with major insurers like Allianz and MSIG to distribute policies through platforms including Shopee, GCash, and Dana, earning fees per policy purchased. The company now facilitates over 100 million policies monthly, up from 80 million last year. Indonesia remains its largest market by revenue. CEO Raunak Mehta says the firm is exploring mergers and acquisitions to accelerate growth, whilst expanding its software licensing business to banks across Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Taiwan.
Singapore insurtech Igloo and Indonesian fintech Dana have launched a parametric weather insurance product in Indonesia. The product integrates into Dana's QRIS payment flow and pays users 50,000 rupiah (US$2.80) when rainfall at their location reaches 2.5 millimetres or more during the coverage period. Each policy costs 500 rupiah (US$0.028). Claims are validated using satellite precipitation data and users' GPS coordinates, without paperwork or human review. The launch adds to an existing partnership that already offers five insurance products through the Dana app. It reflects insurers' push into digital distribution in Indonesia, where insurance penetration stood at 2.7 per cent, according to Igloo. The product operates within Indonesia's national QR code payment standard, defined by Bank Indonesia.
