PRESS RELEASE

Paris, 6 November 2018

CNP Assurances and Lydia team up to offer two new generation mobile insurance packages

In partnership with CNP Assurances, French start-up Lydia is now offering its users the opportunity to insure all their mobile devices in less than two minutes through its instant mobile payment app.

Lydia's app now enables its users to protect their phones and all their other mobile devices through two offerings: - covering their smartphones against breakage and corrosion for under €1 per week, i.e. €4.29 per month;

- providing additional cover for all their nomadic devices (laptops, tablets, audio headphones, smart watches etc.) against theft, for €9.99 per month.

Access to insurance and coverage conditions could not be simpler with Lydia and CNP Assurances: two-minute sign-up, no excesses, no commitments, no waiting time and immediately effective subscription. The offer is applicable to all mobile devices, whatever the brand or model.

For a quick and efficient payment process, Lydia and CNP Assurances have partnered with SPB, an expert in insurance and allied services and an expert in the management of nomadic product warranties.
