What is Personal Accident Insurance?
With so much uncertainty in life, you never know when an accident might occur. Rely on our Personal Accident policy to ensure you’re covered for any eventuality. Whether you’re injured, admitted to hospital, become disabled or pass away due to an accident, this policy will cover you. No medical examinations are required, and you can even save money when you add your partner or spouse.
What is covered?
- 24HR Medical Emergency Evacuation in the event of an accident.
- Cover for non-medical expenses should you be injured and hospitalised due to an accident.
- Tax-free payout due to death or disablement of the insured as a result on an accident.

If, in the month after the activation of your policy (and onwards), we do not receive your premium on the due deduction date, you will be allowed a 15-day period of grace in which to pay your premium.
