Month: September 2020

One of the greatest investments you will ever make in your life if you have the foresight to do so, is a life assurance plan. Building a strong financial foundation begins with having the right tools, and life insurance is one of those tools.  This is especially important if you are a habitual spender and find yourself unable to save for your future needs.

Sacos has a variety of plans specially designed to meet the specific financial needs and interests of the client.

The Endowment Assurance Plan is one of our most basic plans. You are probably wondering what that is. Endowment plans are basically life insurance policies that serves a dual purpose; it is a life insurance which, apart from covering the life of the insured, helps the policyholder save regularly over a specific period of time so that they are able to get a lump sum amount on the policy maturity. This maturity amount can be used to meet various financial needs such as funding one’s retirement or policy to build a risk-free savings corpus, while providing financial protection for family in case of an unfortunate event.  

The Endowment Assurance Plan will pay you a full sum assured upon maturity with accrued bonuses. This plan provides assurance protection during the term of the contract in case of future emergencies, while still enabling you to meet your non-negotiable life goals. These can be anything from meeting your children’s education expenses, starting up a business or even living a comfortable retired life.  If you unfortunately become permanently disabled before the end of your savings term, you will be paid the full sum assured plus accrued bonuses. The simplicity of the Sacos Endowment Plan has made it an attractive savings plan for just about everyone. 

If the Endowment Assurance Plan is not what you are looking for or you want to consider other options, at Sacos we have an extensive range of life assurance products that can meet your need. Call us on 429 5000 or send an email to life@sacos.sc for more information.

While motor insurance is mandatory for all vehicles, policyholders have the option to choose between Full Comprehensive, Third Party Only and Third Party, Fire and Theft. Some vehicle owners can at times opt for the more affordable options, which is understandable, but if the Full Comprehensive is within your budget, then it is an indispensable option for you.

Accidents can happen anywhere, at any given time, but in Seychelles, the weekend is almost guaranteed of one or more accidents, whether it be a fender bender or a drive in a ditch. While insurance claims are never a hundred percent certain, more than not, your coverage will at least cover damages to third parties.

But what of the damage to your own car? A Third Party insurance will not cover any damage to your car in an accident. Nor will it provide you with compensation in case of a total write-off  after the accident. A car is an expensive asset. Replacing it after a loss might not happen easily or quickly.

This is where the Full Comprehensive Motor Insurance becomes beneficial. In order to ensure you have sufficient protection you will need a comprehensive motor vehicle insurance. This is a coverage that helps pay to replace or repair your vehicle if it’s damaged in an accident. In addition, it provides you with financial protection against vandalism, broken windscreens or damage to the vehicle while parking.   

Full Comprehensive motor vehicle insurance varies, depending on the level of cover you choose – the more extensive the option, the better the coverage against different losses. The best comprehensive motor vehicle insurance for passenger cars covers against:  

• Accidental collision or overturning following accidental impact
• Collision or overturning consequent upon mechanical breakdown  
• Fire
• Burglary
• Malicious Act
• Windscreen 
• Loss of use
• Personal Accident
• Funeral cover

Not only does the Full Comprehensive Motor Insurance provide sufficient coverage for any eventuality, but it also provides peace of mind, knowing that Sacos has got you adequately covered.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the shipping industry around the globe has taken a heavy impact from the resulting economic crisis. One of the major challenges facing the industry has been the ability to continue transporting food and other supplies in the least disruptive manner possible.

In the shipping industry, marine cargo insurance is an important component to operational service as it provides protection to both buyers (importers) and suppliers (exporters) in terms of loss of or damage to the cargo during transit. This component is reflected within the cost of every transshipped product as part of the CIF (cost, insurance and freight) value.

During these unprecedented times, local suppliers may be looking for ways to keep their production costs stable and their prices competitive on the global market.

Sacos’ Marine Cargo Insurance provides coverage against losses arising from physical damage to cargo and related liabilities whilst it is in transit by sea. It can be for a single shipment or an open cover for clients who import or export on a regular basis. With the fluctuating exchange rate and the devaluation of the SCR, buyers and suppliers can rely on local insurance products to minimise the cost to their businesses.

With the Sacos Marine Cargo Insurance, clients can choose between the three different options of Institute Cargo Clauses as issued by the International Chamber of Commerce. The premium rates are commensurate with the chosen option:

• Clause A has the widest insurance coverage.
• Clause B has a more restrictive coverage.
• Clause C has a basic coverage.

Call us today (429 5000) for more information on the Marine Cargo Insurance or send an email to info@sacos.sc.
