HCI Group Global Launches New Global Payment Card to Simplify Access to Healthcare Worldwide
Brighton, UK | 2026 – HCI Group Global Healthcare has announced the launch of its new Global Payment Card, a fully digital healthcare payment solution designed to give members fast, convenient access to medical services anywhere in the world. The card enables eligible members to pay healthcare providers directly, removing the need to self-fund treatment and wait for reimbursement.
The Global Payment Card is available through the HCI Group app and member portal and can be used at hospitals and clinics worldwide that have a point-of-sale terminal. Once a member submits a request and it is approved, funds are loaded onto the virtual card and can be used within minutes.
Designed for globally mobile members, including global corporate clients, frequent travellers, digital nomads, families, and seafarers, the card provides quick access to funds without the traditional reimbursement process. It also supports multi-currency payments, automatically converting to local currency to reduce friction for members receiving care abroad.
Key benefits of the Global Payment Card include:
- No reimbursement delays, members pay providers directly with the card
- Worldwide acceptance at hospitals and clinics
- Multi-currency support with automatic local currency conversion
- Fully digital access via the HCI Group app or member portal
Commenting on the launch, Ian Wood, CEO of HCI Group Global, said:
“We are delighted to introduce the Global Payment Card as another way to make life easier for our group customers. This solution adds real convenience for members who need quick access to healthcare while on the move, and it reflects our ongoing commitment to ensuring healthcare is provided quickly and seamlessly, wherever our customers are in the world.”
Members submit requests through the app or member portal at least five working days prior to their appointment, including medical documentation and cost estimates. Following review and approval, the card is loaded with the agreed amount and is ready for use. After treatment, members upload their itemised invoices to complete the process.
The Global Payment Card is intended to support planned outpatient care such as specialist consultations, diagnostic tests, and scans, offering a modern, digital alternative to traditional claims processing for eligible services.
With this launch, HCI Group Global continues to expand its digital healthcare solutions, helping members access care faster and more seamlessly, wherever life and work may take them.
