Sun Life Indonesia And Bank Muamalat Launch Prosperous Salam Hijrah Insurance

JAKARTA - PT Sun Life Financial Indonesia (Sun Life Indonesia) partnered with PT Bank Muamalat Indonesia, Tbk (Bank Muamalat) launched the Asuransi Salam Hijrah Sejahtera product, which was specifically designed to answer the needs of Bank Muamalat customers in long-term planning and protection solutions, with flexibility and return of contributions at the end of the protection period so that it was the right choice, especially for those registered in the Regular Hajj program.

With the age and length of the Hajj waiting period, health risks are the main challenges that can occur at any time and need to be anticipated by prospective pilgrims. Even when performing the pilgrimage, pilgrims are faced with various health challenges, such as extreme climate, severe physical activity, and crowds of millions of pilgrims who increase health risks.

Data from the Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia shows that about 25 percent of pilgrims experience hot health problems, such as heat stroke, especially among the elderly and those with weak health conditions. Exposure to temperatures of more than 40 degrees Celsius, severe physical activity, and the risk of infection in the midst of large crowds exacerbated these challenges. For this reason, protective solutions are essential for prospective pilgrims to take steps and realize prosperity full of blessings.

Asuransi Salam Hijrah Sejahtera memberikan perlindungan komprehensif hingga 25 tahun yang ideal untuk haji reguler. Keunggulanan utama produk ini adalah pengumbalian hingga 150 persen dari total kontribusi yang telah dibayar jika tidak ada klaim sampai akhir masa perlindungan, memastikan uang yang dibayar tidak luas tetapi justru memberikan nilai tambah. Untuk kemudahan nasabah, produk ini hadir dengan fitur unggulan yang memudah pendaftaran dan fleksibilitas pembayaran.

Registration does not require a medical check-up, so access to insurance protection becomes easier. Flexibility in choosing the term of payment of contributions, for both 5 and 10 years, provides flexibility for customers to adjust payments to their financial capabilities, without reducing the benefits of protection offered.

"The Asuransi Salam Hijrah Sejahtera is designed to provide peace of mind for Bank Muamalat customers who want to prepare for their pilgrimage trip better. At Sun Life, we always prioritize the interests and listen to every need of our customers that we realize through this product. With a life that is protected during the insurance period or a waiting period for the pilgrimage departure and a potential contribution back at the end of the insurance period that can be used to pay off the cost of Hajj, this product is one of the solutions that can help customers plan a better future while maintaining their spiritual commitment," said Chief Distribution Officer & Sharia Director, Sun Life Indonesia. Danning Wikanti, in her statement, Tuesday 10 September.

If a customer dies during the protection period, the heir will receive 100 percent insurance compensation plus cash value (if any). This benefit increases to 200 percent if the customer dies in the holy month or while carrying out the pilgrimage.

In addition, this product provides additional benefits in the form of compensation for death of Rp. 10,000,000 to the heirs.
