Supporting your earthquake recovery

Bounce offers simplified and affordable parametric earthquake insurance, providing rapid cash payments to support your recovery during an earthquake crisis.

We can respond with speed because we rely on the Peak Ground Velocity (PGV) data from your nearest GeoNet sensor to evaluate earthquake intensity. Your policy is activated when this sensor records ground shaking of at least 20 cm per second. To proceed with a claim, simply confirm any damage or additional expenses through a return text message.

Why do I need it?

Imagine experiencing an earthquake and receiving a payout that you can use for anything to support your recovery. If an earthquake of a certain intensity occurs and you incur costs, you will receive a payment to fast-track your recovery. Having cash on hand allows you to respond to immediate expenses and ensures you can focus on the things that matter most for your recovery.

Homeowner and renters.

Covering your additional costs of getting your family back on the road to recovery.

Employee Benefit.

Reducing financial stress and strengthening your wellbeing programme by supporting your employees to recover from a large shake.

Business owner.

Supporting your business continuity and your balance sheet during a crisis with an upfront cash payment.

Here's how it works.

Our claims process is simple! We simply overlay your insured location against the location of your nearest GeoNet sensor to determine claim eligibility. We monitor GeoNet earthquake data and will proactively reach out to you when your policy has been triggered by an earthquake event (e.g. shake intensity of at least 20cm per second at your nearest GeoNet sensor). You’ll be eligible to receive a cash payment on confirmation of damage or additional expenses via return text or email.

No complex and lengthy claims processing - just the Bounce commitment.

Proactive claims, no assessors, no delays, no excess, & low hassle.

In an earthquake event, traditional insurance is designed to cover significant losses, but Bounce takes a different approach. When an earthquake triggers your policy, our goal is to provide you with cash-in-a-crisis to cover your immediate financial needs—from childcare and loss of income to unexpected work expenses and more.

We use a parametric insurance model, meaning for a low monthly price, you’re covered whenever an earthquake hits your area and activates our policy. With Bounce, you can count on a simplified payout solution within days of GeoNet notifying us of an earthquake event in your area.
