Accidents and the death of a loved one are undoubtedly traumatic.

Many families face financial pressure in paying the bills when their kin is injured or dies, especially if this person is the breadwinner.

The good news is that there is no need to worry anymore as Timiza, a mobile only banking platform by Absa Bank, has designed the most affordable insurance cover to cover personal accident as well as funeral expenses.

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.

The beauty of Timiza is that the platform has simplified the whole insurance cover application process. By just dialing *848#, customers can access the service in the comfort of their homes.
