FreightInsure Wins Best Insurance Innovation in Finder Innovation Awards 2026

FreightInsure has taken top honours at the Finder Innovation Awards 2026, winning Best Insurance Innovation. The public also voted us People's Choice within the category, and we were named a finalist for Best B2B Innovation.

The Finder Innovation Awards recognise Australia's most forward-thinking businesses, and bringing home this award is a massive milestone for our team.

We set out to change how transit cover operates by turning a cumbersome, standalone purchase into a seamless embedded experience. Winning both the judged category and the public vote tells us the market was ready for that shift.

Taking out Best Insurance Innovation highlights the impact our technology is having for transport and logistics businesses.

Freight damage is a persistent operational cost. Some operators run carrier warranties or cap liability contractually, and plenty have nothing formal in place at all. The innovation is where FreightInsure sits.

For operators with existing arrangements, it sits above your current setup rather than replacing it. For those without, it is cover your customers can add at the point of booking.

Either way, we built a way to monetise the long tail of SME accounts with zero upfront cost. Because the insurer pays the claims, you carry zero claim risk on your balance sheet and stop burning operational hours managing absorbed costs.

Securing the People's Choice vote shows this is resonating just as strongly with small businesses and online retailers. When a pallet is damaged, these businesses usually end up eating the cost of a smashed order.

Carrier liability is capped and demands proof of fault, while traditional policies carry excesses that wipe out the value of everyday claims.

As an underwriting agent, we were recognised for finally bridging that gap. There is no need to shop around or plan ahead. Customers tick a box at checkout to access transit cover that carries no excess on covered claims.

We want to thank our network of partners and customers for their trust and ongoing feedback. Building better technology is a shared process, and this industry recognition belongs to all of you.

As we celebrate these awards and continue to scale, our focus remains on delivering accessible cover that works the way freight actually moves.
