Following the successful launched of Airtel Insurance in August 2014 by Airtel Nigeria, leading telecommunications services provider, in partnership with Cornerstone Insurance and MicroEnsure, the first female claimant has redeemed her claims.
Mrs Emiowei Bridget Ofune, one of the seven Airtel insurance claimants to benefit from the scheme, was presented with a cheque of N50, 000 by Mr Olawale Alao, Zonal Business manager, Airtel, at Airtel Express Shop, Ilupeju, Town Planning Way Ilupeju, Lagos.
Nigeria CommunicationsWeek had reported that the product launch was in line with Airtel’s 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.
Airtel Insurance rewards loyal Airtel customers with a renewable monthly life and hospitalisation cover based on the amount of monthly airtime recharged.
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.
