Nigerian startup Chowdeck, an on-demand delivery platform, has partnered with MyCoverGenius, an insurance services provider, to provide personal accident insurance for more than 20,000 riders on its platform.
Founded in October 2021, Chowdeck provides a platform that brings together smart logistics, seamless payments, inventory management, and real-time performance tools, enabling thousands of businesses to run more efficiently while delivering excellent experiences to millions of customers every day.
MyCoverGenius, meanwhile, is a leading insurance technology company transforming how individuals and businesses access and experience insurance. Under the partnership between the two companies, which commenced in November 2025, every active Chowdeck rider will be automatically enrolled in a personal accident insurance plan powered by MyCoverGenius.
The cover includes accidental medical expenses, temporary disability, and other key protections. This landmark collaboration sets a new benchmark for rider welfare in Nigeria, giving thousands of riders who serve over two million Chowdeck customers the security of a reliable safety net.
“Riders are a critical part of everything we do at Chowdeck. This partnership with MyCoverGenius is about more than just insurance – it’s about setting a new benchmark for how delivery platforms in Africa should protect and support their people. We want every Chowdeck rider to feel secure knowing that their wellbeing is just as important as the meals and packages they deliver every day,” said Umar Nasir, head of operations at Chowdeck.
