Singapore1 April 2021 – FWD Singapore (“FWD”) today announced the launch of a complimentary insurance benefit that provides a one-time, lump sum payout of S$5,000 for its life insurance customers, and those who sign up for an eligible FWD insurance plan through its website (www.fwd.com.sg) or any of its partner financial advisory firms before the end of June this year.

Eligible customers can make a claim in the event of hospitalisation, in either the intensive care unit or high dependency ward for at least 12 consecutive hours, due to any complications or side effects arising from approved COVID-19 vaccinations in Singapore.

The coverage is valid till the end of the year for all existing customers who hold a FWD life insurance plan, and those who buy a life policy between 1 April and 30 June 2021.

Adrian Vincent, General Manager of FWD Singapore’s Life Business, said, “We’re supportive of the Government’s goal to vaccinate everyone against COVID-19 as part of our commitment to support the fight against the pandemic in Singapore. We hope this free vaccination coverage can give our customers peace of mind as they take this brave and important step towards protecting themselves and their loved ones.”
