Zurich sells critical illness cover through Shopee

Eligible customers receive the Basic option free for the first month during the campaign.

Zurich Life Insurance Malaysia has launched its critical illness insurance on the Shopee and ShopeePay apps, expanding access to health protection through the two digital platforms in Malaysia.

The product is underwritten by Zurich Life Insurance Malaysia Berhad and distributed by MoneeInsure Agency Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.

The insurance is offered in Basic and Comprehensive plans, with coverage of up to $72,000 (RM300,000). 

It covers up to 14 critical and early-stage illnesses, including cancer, heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.

The Comprehensive plan also provides cover for selected early-stage illnesses of up to $36,000 (RM150,000), whilst both plans include options for second medical opinion support and monthly income support, depending on the plan selected.

The launch comes as many Malaysians continue to have limited financial buffers. According to the companies, six in 10 Malaysians have less than $240 (RM1,000) in emergency savings, highlighting the need for insurance products that are easier to access.

To encourage take-up, MoneeInsure is offering eligible customers the first month free on the Basic plan for purchases made during its promotional campaign.

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.
