NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 17 – Insurance Company Old Mutual has signed an agreement with Zamara to offer one-stop financial solutions for its customers.
The partnership is in line with the insurer’s commitment to unlocking possibilities for its customers.
Speaking during a meeting with Zamara’s customers, Old Mutual acting General Manager Life Distribution Evans Manduku underscored the important role the partnership lays as it not only strengthens the partners but also benefits their customers as well.
“Partnerships are important and allow us to synergize our strengths. A partnership with Zamara gives us the opportunity to tap into their customer base and offer solutions to them,” he stated.
While Old Mutual has an array of solutions ranging from investments, savings, assets management, protection and even health, its critical illness cover is among the key solutions offered to the Zamara customer base.
The solution is available as a standalone offering and has recently been embedded in the Old Mutual Afya Imara family cover, which enables members to receive a cash payout of up to Sh750,000 at the first detection of a critical illness.
The lump sum payment will enable one to seek treatment at a facility of their choice and manage the lifestyle that comes with that diagnosis.
Zamara’s General Manager, Umbrella and Retail Solution George Oyuga noted that the move will be a great boost to the variety of services Zamara offers to its customers.
“Old Mutual is a strong brand and they are keen on the way they develop their solutions. We, therefore, feel that coming together with them is a value add to the services we offer our clients as Zamara,” he stated.
He further emphasized and encouraged people on the need of taking critical illness cover before retirement.
