Koot Chiew Ling, Principal Officer of Tune Protect Life said,
“Our first proposition, SME EZY is an employee benefit insurance plan that is targeted at SMEs as we realise that retaining employees and maintaining productivity is a challenge post-pandemic.
It is designed to help SMEs plan their budget ahead with the flagship product being a group medical with fixed premium for 3 years, that also comes with a health-based rewards programme (Activ8) to motivate their staff to stay healthy.”
As a digital life insurance player, Tune Protect Life will also bring end-to-end digitisation to allow businesses to buy, self-serve and submit claims with minimal human intervention.
Tune Protect added that it is aiming to offer SME EZY via its B2C channels next year.
