PolicyStreet
Full-stack insurtech platform delivering embedded insurance and digital distribution across Southeast Asia and Australia
Overview
PolicyStreet is a digital insurance distribution platform for consumers, SMEs, and gig workers across Southeast Asia and Australia. The company aggregates products from over 40 life, general, and Takaful insurance providers, distributing them through direct-to-consumer comparison tools, an SME employee benefits portal, and embedded insurance partnerships integrated into third-party apps and platforms.
The platform delivers insurance via API-connected embedded distribution, enabling partners in mobility, e-commerce, fintech, and logistics to offer coverage within their own products. PolicyStreet holds licenses from Bank Negara Malaysia (Financial Adviser and Islamic Financial Adviser), the Labuan Financial Services Authority (reinsurer, general insurer, reTakaful operator), and is a registered Australian Financial Services Licensee under ASIC. This regulatory stack allows the company to operate across multiple Asian markets and Australia from a single platform.
Founded in 2017, PolicyStreet closed a USD 21M Series C first tranche in April 2026, led by Cool Japan Fund, bringing total reported funding to over USD 43M. The company serves over 10 million customers as of 2026 -- doubling from 5 million in 2023 -- and recorded over USD 1 million in profit for FY2025. Backers include Khazanah Nasional Berhad (Malaysia's sovereign wealth fund), Altara Ventures, and Gobi Partners.
