MSH International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paris-based broker SIACI SAINT HONORE Group and supplier of expatriate insurance services worldwide, in September 2017 announced the acquisition of Imagine Financial and its travel medical assistance group, Intrepid 24/7.

Both Imagine Financial and Intrepid 24/7 are housed under the umbrella of Ingle International, a provider of plug and play solutions that drive revenue and enhance customer engagement for the insurance, healthcare, special risk, and video production sectors. Imagine Financial and Intrepid 24/7 both specialize in delivering travel insurance, international student insurance, and special-risk solutions to anyone traveling throughout the world, including international students, athletes, expats, and those at risk of kidnap or ransom or entering war zones or other high-risk destinations. Customers can receive 24/7 multilingual support, duty of care, and topical content.

MSH and Ingle’s combined capabilities and global footprint are to facilitate a wider distribution of products and services.

Robin Ingle, CEO of Imagine Financial and Intrepid 24/7, will assume the role of CEO of MSH Americas. He will remain a shareholder of the merged group and will also remain on the board, and advise MSH International on global strategy for international student and short-term travel insurance.
