Jubilee Health Insurance has partnered with Singapore-headquartered insurtech bolttech to expand access to health insurance by embedding its products into digital platforms that consumers already use.
The partnership, announced on Thursday, will enable Jubilee to distribute health policies through partner platforms such as banks, petrol stations, retailers and digital marketplaces, allowing customers to buy insurance as part of everyday transactions rather than through traditional channels.
Embedded insurance integrates cover directly into the purchase of a product or service. For example, a customer taking a digital loan or buying goods on credit could add a daily hospital cash policy before completing the transaction, while online shoppers could purchase health cover with a single click.
Jubilee Health chief executive Njeri Jomo said the model reflects changing consumer behaviour as more Kenyans access financial and commercial services through digital platforms.
‘Healthcare protection should be available where people already live, work and transact. Embedding insurance into trusted platforms allows us to scale faster and extend cover to underserved communities,’ she said.
Jubilee, Kenya’s largest health insurer with a 14.08 percent market share in the first quarter of 2026, said it is already engaging telcos, petrol stations and buy-now-pay-later providers to expand distribution.
Under the partnership, bolttech will provide an API-driven platform enabling businesses to integrate Jubilee’s insurance products into their systems, supporting customer onboarding, policy administration and claims processing.
The rollout will begin with Jubilee’s Hospicash product, which provides daily cash benefits during hospitalisation, before expanding to other health insurance products.
