aYo Intermediaries Ghana Limited (aYo Ghana) has announced a free COVID-19 benefit in the form of a free insurance cover for its existing and new customers to cushion them during this global pandemic.
The Free COVID-19 Benefit includes a death benefit that pays a lump sum of GH¢1,000 in the unfortunate demise of the customer or registered family member due to COVID-19 infection.
Another component of the Free COVID-19 Benefit is a hospitalization benefit that provides the customer with a lump sum of GH¢500 to support their medical bills when hospitalized due to COVID-19 diagnoses.
A statement from the company signed by CEO Francis Gota said “This cover is extended to the family member registered under ‘Recharge with Care’ Life cover as well,” adding that subscribers can get up to GH¢3,000 life insurance cover for one family member to cater for funeral expenses without any stress or hassle.
The Free COVID-19 Benefit comes as an additional package to customers on aYo ‘Recharge with Care’ service, which offers life and hospital insurance cover every time you recharge your airtime.
Under that cover, subscribers get up to GH¢100 per night for each night they are admitted at the hospital to support hospital admission bills and up to GHC6,000 when the registered family is deceased, or the family of the policyholder gets the amount when the policyholder dies.
“Also, customers on ‘aYo Send With Care’ who are already enjoying up to GHS30,000 hospital and life insurance cover and up to GHs6,000.00 life cover for their family members registered on the service will also benefit from this free offer,” the statement said.
The Free Covid-19 Benefit took effect for existing aYo customers from May 2020 and it is expected to last through the next six months ending in November 2020.
New customers will enjoy the benefit after a waiting period of 30 days following their registration for any of the aYo services.
