FreightInsure has been named 2026 Insurtech Start-up of the Year at the 14th ANZIIF New Zealand Insurance Industry Awards, held in Auckland on Tuesday 10 November.

The award recognises our work bringing insurance into the freight booking process, making goods in transit cover simpler and more accessible for transport businesses and their customers.

It's a significant milestone for our business and a great recognition of the work our team has put in.

A big thank you to the entire FreightInsure team. From product and engineering to claims, partnerships, operations and compliance, this award reflects the work that goes on across the business every day.

Thank you also to our customers and partners across Australia and New Zealand. Your trust, support and feedback have helped us build a better way to protect freight in transit.

This is our second major industry award this year, following our win at the 2026 Finder Innovation Awards in Australia, where we were named Best Insurance Innovation, winning both the judged award and People's Choice vote.

Thank you to ANZIIF and the judging panel for the recognition, and congratulations to all the other winners and finalists.

A great result for the team. And plenty more to do.
