Why have you had to stop selling Red Pennant?
Factors outside of our control have meant we had to stop selling Red Pennant Overseas Emergency Assistance. The underwriter of this product was no longer able to support the product.
Can I still buy Red Pennant?
No, Red Pennant Overseas Emergency Assistance is no longer available to purchase. All existing policies, including those purchased up to and including 30 January 2026, will continue to be honoured and supported by our Emergency Assistance Team.
