Capital
Express Assurance has continued its crusade in the actualization of its promise
to pay claims as a life assurance company.
D19,166.68
was recently paid at the Central Bank of the Gambia as a result of the claim on
credit life or banker’s assurance scheme, put in place with Capital Express
Assurance.
Credit
Life/Bank assurance scheme is designed to protect financial institutions
against the risk of default in loan repayment in the event of an untimely death
of a customer, critical illness or permanent disability as a result of
accident.
Victor
said their bankers assurance scheme makes it possible for any eventualities to
be covered by Capital Express on behalf of the staff of a particular bank.
He
praised the Central Bank of The Gambia for taking up the initiative to put the
scheme in place for their employees as it gives them a peace of mind.
Haja
Jallow, deputy director of Administration and Human Resource, and Saikou
Kassama, Principal Insurance compliance officer at the Central Bank of The
Gambia, expressed gratitude to Capital Express Assurance on behalf of CBG and
called on them to raise their awareness campaign on their life insurance
services which are highly beneficial to the general public.
Ms
Mawudey Kurang, acting head of business division at Capital Express Assurance,
stressed the importance of institutions setting up the banker’s scheme, saying
that had the scheme not been in place at the Central Bank courtesy of Capital
Express, the bereaved family would have been faced with financial constraints
in repaying the loan, relinquishing their assets that serve as collateral or
the guarantor would be compelled to settle the outstanding loan.
In

at the Gambia Armed Forces headquarters in Banjul.
The
claim was paid to the beneficiary of a deceased military personnel who had an
individual life assurance policy with Capital Express Assurance.
