In Ghana, the mobile operator, AirtelTigo, has entered into a partnership with BIMA, the provider of mobile health and insurance services, with the aim of offering products mainly related to life insurance, hospitalization or accident.
“The new partnership with BIMA further consolidates our financial inclusion proposals and is another innovation in the Ghanaian telecommunications industry,” said Murphy Chaganti, AirtelTigo Ghana’s Director of Operations at the inauguration of a joint office. .
With an offer of 10 pesewas (about $ 0.03) a day, the insurance program covers 2 million people in Ghana. It offers customers the ability to process their payment requests digitally, via the WhatsApp social network, among others, and subscribe to services from the same digital channels.
Note that before AirtelTigo, BIMA is already developing this type of partnership with Prudential Life, which has already paid premiums of over $ 3 million to more than 35,000 customers, according to the management of the insurance company.
