Zurich sells critical illness cover through Shopee

Eligible customers receive the Basic option free for the first month during the campaign.

Zurich Life Insurance Malaysia has launched its critical illness insurance on the Shopee and ShopeePay apps, expanding access to health protection through the two digital platforms in Malaysia.

The product is underwritten by Zurich Life Insurance Malaysia Berhad and distributed by MoneeInsure Agency Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.

The insurance is offered in Basic and Comprehensive plans, with coverage of up to $72,000 (RM300,000).

It covers up to 14 critical and early-stage illnesses, including cancer, heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.

The Comprehensive plan also provides cover for selected early-stage illnesses of up to $36,000 (RM150,000), whilst both plans include options for second medical opinion support and monthly income support, depending on the plan selected.

The launch comes as many Malaysians continue to have limited financial buffers. According to the companies, six in 10 Malaysians have less than $240 (RM1,000) in emergency savings, highlighting the need for insurance products that are easier to access.

To encourage take-up, MoneeInsure is offering eligible customers the first month free on the Basic plan for purchases made during its promotional campaign.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
