The first set of Airtel customers to benefit from Airtel Insurance package have received hospitals claims through the insurance plan, a product which offers life and hospitalisation insurance with increasing benefits based on monthly airtime recharge.
The beneficiaries, Mr. Augustine Peters, Mr. Adeniji Owolabi and Mr. Ojo Aderogba, were at the headquarters of Airtel Nigeria, Banana Island, Ikoyi, recently to receive their claims.
Airtel in collaboration with MicroEnsure and Cornerstone Insurance plc, two prominent insurance providers, launched a free insurance product which offers Airtel customers life and hospitalisation insurance with increasing benefits based on monthly airtime recharge.
Airtel said the product launch is in line with its vision to be the most loved brand in the daily lives of Nigerians.
The product, which is tagged Airtel Insurance is packaged to deliver affordable insurance services and encourage insurance culture among Nigerians. It is first of its kind in Nigeria and has been endorsed by the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM).
It is open to all Nigerian residents between the ages of 18 and 65 years. All they need to do is dial *259# to register for the service.
All hospitalisations are covered, both for natural and accidental causes, with no medical exclusions, making it the most widely accessible and generous free insurance cover in the country.

Customers can qualify for this insurance by recharging as little as N1,000 with Airtel each month, and as they increase their monthly recharge, they earn more insurance cover – with up to N 500,000 and N50,000 of life insurance and hospitalisation cover per month.
