Parts of the benefits of the Mobile App include easy purchase of insurance policies such as the Third- Party Motor Insurance, the personal accident insurance cover with the acronym, SWIS-F, (Sovereign Wellbeing Insurance Scheme for the Family), marine insurance and the All-Risks Insurance Cover.
With the Mobile App, customers can easily access information on-the-go. It is an easy and faster way to submit and track customers’ claims. The Mobile App is also designed to help customers manage their insurance policies.
