Affin Islamic partners Zurich Takaful to offer bancatakaful

KUALA LUMPUR: Affin Islamic Bank Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Affin Bank Bhd, is collaborating with Zurich Takaful Bhd for a bancatakaful product -- "AFFIN Sure Cover,” a hassle-free and affordable Family Takaful plan for the bank’s customers.

In a statement today, Affin Islamic said the product can be purchased by customers aged between 35 and 70 years without requiring a medical check-up before purchasing.

Through this strategic alliance, customers of Affin Islamic will be provided with access to Zurich Takaful’s Family Takaful products, Affin Islamic chief executive officer Nazlee Khalifah said.

"Customers will be offered an affordable premium as low as RM50 per month and may also enjoy extensive coverage up to the age of 80,” he said.

Meanwhile, Zurich Takaful chief executive officer Mukesh Dhawan said the takaful market is still underserved and has tremendous potential for growth.

Hence, AFFIN Sure Cover is one of our simplest and easy plans available, with a guaranteed acceptance feature which means everyone can apply without having to undergo medical check-ups.

"This collaboration complements our focus of reaching more Malaysians, including leveraging technology to keep the close connection with our agents and customers,” he said. - Bernama
