Singtel’s Foray Into Local Insurance Market
Singtel has been offering insurance to its customers since last July when it launched free personal insurance cover for its prepaid customers as part of mobile data plans. Earlier this year, Singtel extended free 30-day COVID-19 insurance coverage to prepaid and Dash customers.
Dash customers also had the option to start saving regularly for the future with Dash EasyEarn, an insurance savings plan. Offered exclusively through Singtel’s Dash app and underwritten by Etiqa Insurance, the new Dash EasyEarn savings insurance is designed for investors who want to start saving regularly for their future and maybe concerned about cash flow. Start with a minimum initial premium of S$2,000 up to a maximum of S$20,000, benefits include up to 2% per annum returns for the first policy year, with no lock-in period. Unlimited withdrawals are allowed with zero penalties. In the event of death, Dash EasyEarn offers up to 105% of the account value.
Dash customers recently had access to a newly launched Dash Rewards programme that lets them earn rewards points when spending on the Dash app at Dash’s 60,000 merchants islandwide, online at global merchants with Dash Visa Virtual Account or remittance overseas. A wide catalogue of over 50 vouchers is available for instant redemption. There are three tiers for the programme – Silver, Gold and Platinum. Earn double Dash rewards points until end December.
