AIA S’pore launches Ultimate Critical Cover, S’poreans feel ‘inadequately protected’

A study was conducted which showed that respondents consider a median payout of $100,000 sufficient, short of the recommended $300,000 by LIA.

AIA Singapore has launched AIA Ultimate Critical Cover (AIA UCC) to address the 74% critical illness protection gap in Singapore. 

The initiative aims to tackle the underestimation of necessary coverage, particularly among those without critical illness plans, smokers, and younger demographics. 

The study commissioned by AIA Singapore revealed that respondents consider a median payout of $100,000 sufficient, falling short of the recommended $300,000 or 3.9 times annual income by the Life Insurance Association (LIA) of Singapore.

AIA UCC covers 150 medical conditions, offers unlimited claims with a maximum limit, and integrates with AIA Vitality for wellness incentives. 

Premiums start at S$630 for a 25-year-old male non-smoker and coverage until 65-years old with a sum assured of S$100,000. 

The plan includes an optional UCC Enhancer rider and a premium waiver rider for income loss protection.

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.
