• Customers can now log in to the MyGIG Car portal using their UAE PASS, streamlining the authentication process and enhancing convenience.

Dubai, UAE: GIG Gulf, a leading insurance provider in the MENA region, continues to set the standard in digital insurance innovation with two major enhancements: instant Orange Card access and UAE PASS login integration. These advancements reinforce GIG Gulf’s commitment to delivering seamless, tech-driven customer experiences, making it the first insurer in the region to integrate the Orange Card API for instant issuance.

The Orange Card, a mandatory car insurance certificate for UAE motorists traveling to Oman, is now available instantly via the MyGIG Car portal, eliminating manual requests and delays. Additionally, customers can log in using UAE PASS, further streamlining access to policies and services.

These enhancements come at a time when cross-border travel between the UAE and Oman is increasing, particularly during peak seasons such as Eid and summer road trips to Salalah. A recent survey found that over 50% of UAE residents travel more frequently during Ramadan, underscoring the demand for efficient cross-border travel solutions. Many travelers may forget the requirement for an Orange Card until they are en route or at the border, making instant access to this essential document even more critical. By eliminating administrative barriers and making key documents instantly accessible, GIG Gulf ensures that policyholders can embark on their journeys with confidence and ease.

Commenting on the enhancements, Paul Adamson, CEO of GIG Gulf, said: “This initiative represents another major milestone in our journey to simplify insurance through smart technology. We want to make it easy and seamless for our customers to use their insurance. Automating the Orange Card issuance and integrating UAE PASS not only saves time for travelers but it allows our teams to dedicate more time to our customers in the moments that matter.”

GIG Gulf’s latest upgrade builds upon its 2023 UAE PASS integration, reaffirming its leadership in digital insurance transformation while enhancing operational efficiency.

Further simplifying insurance processes, GIG Gulf’s recently introduced 2-click motor insurance renewal system allows customers to renew policies seamlessly via SMS, WhatsApp, and email notifications. With UAE PASS authentication and a fully online 24/7 system, customers can review renewal details in one click and complete payment securely in the second. These digital advancements reinforce GIG Gulf’s commitment to making insurance simple, efficient, and accessible, solidifying its position as a leader in digital insurance innovation in the region.
