Under the leadership of Ignyte, InsureMyTrip will continue to operate under its established brand and serve customers through its network of insurance carrier partners. Ignyte plans to invest in the business, providing access to additional capital, technology, digital capabilities, and operational resources to support continued growth and scale.

"InsureMyTrip was one of the early innovators in this space and has remained at the forefront of how consumers shop for travel insurance," McKernan concluded. "We are excited to welcome InsureMyTrip to the Ignyte family of brands and support the team as it continues to innovate, scale, and serve travelers for years to come."
