CIMB Singapore unveils pet insurance for dogs and cats

Policy plans start at $74.90 per year.

CIMB Singapore launched what it claims to be the first pet insurance for domestic dogs and cats with policy plans starting from S$74.90 a year.

In partnership with Sompo Insurance Singapore, CIMB My Paw Pal comprise a basic plan which protects against accidental death, medical expenses due to an accident, cremation or burial expenses due to an accident and third party liability. It also has two optional covers that include loss of dog due to theft, medical expenses, and cremation or burial expenses due to illness.

“The escalating cost of care is a modern day reality especially in the event of illness or accidents. We launched the CIMB My Paw Pal offering in partnership with Sompo Insurance Singapore to help our customers provide the best treatment and care for their pets during these difficult times,” Josandi Thor, head of consumer banking at CIMB, said.

To be eligible for the insurance coverage, the pet has to be between 12 weeks to seven years old, and microchipped, and are registered with the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA).

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
