Ceylinco General Insurance, the leading General Insurer in Sri Lanka, entered into an agreement with Visa to offer attractive insurance services to all Visa cardholders across Sri Lanka at affordable rates. As Sri Lanka is transitioning from a largely cash-based economy towards a digital economy, this partnership with Visa, the global leader in digital payments, will enable Sri Lankans to access insurance products through their Visa debit and credit cards.
Initially, they can avail of three exclusive health insurance covers from Ceylinco General Insurance with benefits ranging from Rs. 100,000 , Rs. 200,000 and Rs. 500,000 per annum, priced at an affordable premium of Rs. 1,000/- , Rs. 2,000 and Rs. 5,500 per annum respectively.
