KUALA LUMPUR, 14 JULY 2026
— Southeast Asia’s leading insurtech company, PolicyStreet, has strengthened its growth journey with an additional US$5 million investment from BlueOrchard, a global impact investment manager and member of the Schroders Group. The latest investment, made through BlueOrchard’s InsuResilience Investment strategy, brings PolicyStreet’s total Series C funding to US$26 million as the company continues its mission to make insurance more accessible, affordable and relevant for communities across Asia.

BlueOrchard joins a strong group of investors supporting PolicyStreet, including sovereign wealth funds Khazanah Nasional Berhad and Cool Japan Fund, alongside venture capital firms Altara Ventures and Gobi Partners. The participation of BlueOrchard highlights growing confidence in PolicyStreet’s technology-driven approach to closing protection gaps and expanding insurance coverage through embedded insurance solutions.

Founded with the vision of transforming insurance accessibility, PolicyStreet has focused on integrating protection products into everyday digital platforms and services. Over the past nine years, the company has developed one of Malaysia’s largest embedded insurance ecosystems, partnering with businesses and digital platforms to bring insurance solutions closer to consumers, gig workers and small businesses that may have previously faced challenges accessing traditional insurance products.

According to PolicyStreet, insurance should not be viewed as a luxury but as an essential form of financial protection. The latest investment reinforces the company’s commitment to bridging the protection gap by leveraging technology, partnerships and innovative distribution models to reach underserved communities across the region.

BlueOrchard’s investment also reflects its focus on impact-driven businesses that promote financial inclusion and improve access to essential services in emerging markets. The investment manager believes PolicyStreet’s embedded insurance model demonstrates how technology and sustainable business practices can work together to provide greater protection for individuals and businesses that need it most.

The new funding will support PolicyStreet’s continued expansion across Southeast Asia, including strengthening its technology capabilities, growing embedded insurance partnerships and developing new solutions to address evolving protection needs. The company aims to further enhance its ability to provide flexible insurance options that meet the changing demands of consumers and businesses in the digital economy.

Since its establishment, PolicyStreet has served more than 10 million customers, facilitated over US$10 billion in sum insured, and supported more than 50,000 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across Asia. Nearly one in every ten customers served by the company is a gig worker, reflecting its ongoing commitment to extending financial protection to communities often overlooked by traditional insurance systems.

Looking ahead, PolicyStreet aims to expand its reach by supporting 1.5 million gig workers and 300,000 SMEs and MSMEs by 2030. With continued investment in technology, partnerships and inclusive insurance solutions, the company seeks to play a greater role in building a more financially resilient Southeast Asia.
