Singtel, Great Eastern float general insurance plans

They will be starting with Singtel Home Protect which covers telco and housing bills.

Singtel and Great Eastern have partnered to launch general insurance products spanning home, motor and travel with telco-centric benefits, according to a joint announcement.

They will be starting with Singtel Home Protect, a home insurance plan that provides coverage for both telco bills and housing-related costs. The plan reimburses Singtel broadband expenses and covers renovation, furniture, appliances, valuables and personal effects.

Singtel Home Protect is offered to Singtel broadband customers at launch and will be made available to all Singtel customers later. For as low as S$6.50 a month, clients can sign up for the plan on the Singtel website or through the My Singtel app. The plan covers reimbursement of Singtel bills of S$280 per month for up to three months, and up to S$80,000 for home contents and renovation in the event of disruption to services due to a fire or other types of damage to the home.

Available for S$84 for 12 months of coverage, or S$156 for 24 months of coverage, customers can enjoy 10% off Home Protect from now until 18 September.

Motor insurance will also be floated in the coming weeks, complete with mobile-related benefits such as mobile bill reimbursement during hospitalisation in the event of an accident, additional mobile data expenses incurred due to travel delays, and phone repair or replacement.
