KUCHING: Touch’ n Go eWallet is offering its growing 16 million users a protection solution via the Perlindungan Tenang Voucher Programme, an initiative by the Malaysian government to extend social protection to the B40 group.
TNG Group in a recent statement said through this programme, RM75 vouchers are given to eligible Bantuan Keluarga Malaysia (BKM) recipients effective January this year.
This is to help them purchase Perlindungan Tenang products which cover death, property damage, accidents, and others from licensed insurance companies and takaful operators.
TNG Digital Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Ignatius Ong said an estimated 270,000 Malaysian citizens from the B40 group had received the benefits of Perlindungan Tenang in January, 70 per cent of which had claimed it through TNG eWallet.
“We encourage all Malaysians from the B40 group to take this opportunity to claim the Perlindungan Tenang voucher to protect them and their loved ones.
“By using technology and innovation effectively, we can offer this added value and custom protection solution to all users. This affordable and beneficial insurance offers eligible participants peace of mind,” he said.
Eligible participants only need to navigate through their TNG eWallet app to enter the Perlindungan Tenang programme.
After selecting the participating insurance companies or takaful operators, participants will have to click “Tebus Sekarang” to submit the application. Then, an email will be sent to the participants by the insurer within seven working days, informing on the status of the application.
“Perlindungan Tenang is an initiative by the insurance and takaful industry that provides insurance and takaful products to meet the needs of Malaysians who have yet to be covered, especially the B40 population.
“As the main goal is to provide insurance and takaful coverage from any risks, Perlindungan Tenang includes products that meet the criteria of Affordable, Easy Access, Easy to Understand, and Easy Claims Process,” added Ong.
Users can conveniently claim this product directly from their TNG eWallet and get insured instantly. Submitting a claim is also easier and faster as the entire process is done online.
