OUR STORY

From a local wake-up call to a global purpose.

Our story began in 2018, when the earthquake that struck the Gili Islands in Indonesia highlighted how vulnerable life abroad can be. It revealed the importance of understanding your insurance, having appropriate protection and knowing who to turn to when something happens. That experience inspired Thomas Sabatier to create Be Protected Indonesia.

 

Through supporting clients in Indonesia, our team saw how insurance needs extended beyond one country. Expats, international families and businesses needed protection that reflected their lives across borders, with clear advice and personal support along the way.

 

In 2026, Be Protected Abroad was launched as part of Be Protected Global, headquartered in Singapore, to meet those international needs. Building on the experience developed in Indonesia, BPA brings the same personal approach to international health, life and company insurance.

Our reach has grown. Our purpose remains the same: helping you understand your protection and supporting you when it matters.

In Their Own Words

Personal advice. Real confidence.

"When I moved abroad, I had no idea where to start with health insurance. Every website I found felt like it was pushing me toward one plan, without really explaining why. With BPA, it was different. My advisor took the time to understand my situation, family, budget, the countries I travel to, and walked me through several real options, in plain language. I never felt rushed or sold to. I finally understood what I was signing up for, and why it was the right fit for me."
