Commenting on the success, Chief Marketing Officer of PruBSN, Wan Saifulrizal Wan Ismail said “This is a tremendous recognition for all of us involved with the creation and promotion of PruBSN Anugerah, and we are truly honoured to receive this recognition from APPIES. My appreciation also goes out to our customers and agents for their continued support. Across everything we do, we remain focused on developing customer-centric solutions that genuinely fulfill the evolving needs of our customers.”
PruBSN Anugerah was introduced to address the large protection gap in Malaysia. Various studies, including Bank Negara Malaysia’s, revealed that only a third of the Malaysian population are protected by takaful or insurance. Even for those who are insured, there is still a large protection gap of RM553,000 to RM723,000 per family, which is the amount needed to maintain their existing standard of living if the primary wage earner pass away.
Ideal as a starter takaful plan for young adults or families who are looking for their first protection solution, PruBSN Anugerah is affordable and simple, and can be further customised with rider options for medical and critical illness coverage. The minimum contribution of the plan is as low as RM50 per month. Customers also have the flexibility to select their basic sum covered, benefit term and contribution frequency.
