Prudential Singapore commits $1.5m COVID relief package

Affected SME clients can defer their premium payments for up to three months.

Prudential Singapore has committed a $1.5m relief package to SMEs and individuals hit by the coronavirus, according to a news release.

Existing SME clients will have the option to defer their premium payments for up to three months to manage their cash flow and ensure there is no disruption to employee coverage. It will be available until the end of June 2020.

Individual customers and their family members served with quarantine orders will get a one-time $500 cash benefit, whilst those hospitalised will receive a daily $200 allowance for up to three months of hospitalisation. These are applicable to cases that emerge from 23 January to 30 June.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
