ShopeePay has partnered with Zurich General Takaful to introduce Zurich Travel Takaful, a Shariah-compliant travel protection plan. This new offering, announced today, caters to the increasing demand for Islamic financial products, providing coverage starting from $0.64 (RM3) per day for domestic travel and $3.42 (RM15.99) for international trips. The plan is available for both single and annual trips, ensuring year-round protection for travellers.
The Zurich Travel Takaful plan offers comprehensive coverage of up to $64,200 (RM300,000) for medical and personal accidents. Additional benefits include compensation for travel cancellations, delays, curtailments, baggage delays, double indemnity, and loss of personal effects and travel documents. Users will also have access to Zurich’s 24-hour Travel Assistance hotline for support during their travels.
To celebrate the launch, ShopeePay is offering discounts on the takaful plans: a 5% discount for groups of two to five, a 10% discount for groups of six to ten, and a 15% discount on VIP plan upgrades. Subscriptions can be completed in under three minutes via the ShopeePay or Shopee app.
ShopeePay’s SPayLater feature allows users to split their takaful contributions into instalments, providing flexibility in managing payments. This initiative marks ShopeePay’s first foray into travel protection, expanding its portfolio of financial services available to Malaysian users.
