Accidents are inevitable and are part of our day-to-day lives from childhood to the golden ages.
While children are the most prone to accidents because of their lack of sense of danger, adults also often find themselves in serious accidents.
Some accidents can lead to serious injuries that can lead to long-term disability. This call for financial backup should the unexpected happen, as hospital bills can add up to a hefty amount.
Having a Personal Accident plan which pays a lump sum cash benefit in case of an accident can be helpful.
Various organizations have rolled out products to get their customers covered in case of unfortunate events.
A good example of such a product is the Timiza insurance cover by Timiza, a digital bank introduced by Absa Bank as a mobile-only banking platform.
The product allows both Absa and non-Absa customers to access personal accident cover of Sh100,000 and funeral cover of Sh50,000 at only Sh42 per month, making it one of the cheapest insurance facilities in Kenya.
