Following its recent announcement giving premium refunds to customers with active motor vehicle policies during the lockdown period, Wapic Insurance, one of Nigeria’s leading underwriters, has gone further to offer health workers across Nigeria a 15 percent discount on new policies taken up in 2020 to help cushion financial hardships associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The rebate to health workers covers personal accident, householder insurance and motor insurance and is for the tenor of the policies. In line with regulation, discounts do not apply on renewal.
“This corporate gesture is in appreciation of the noble effort of our health workers, who are in the frontline of the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Adeyinka Adekoya, managing director.
Last week, the insurer announced a pioneering initiative costing millions of naira in premium revenue that will give refunds to its motor insurance policyholders. The offer from Wapic Insurance ensures that customers with active policies are automatically credited with refunds based on the lockdown period.
