Sri Lanka’s premier telecommunication service provider, Dialog Axiata, is adding further value to its innovative mobile insurance offering with the introduction of third party motor insurance together with Ceylinco Insurance.
At the outset the mobile vehicle insurance is available only for motorcycles, and subscribers simply need to dial #107# from their Dialog mobiles, and select Insurance in the USSD menu and follow the simple instructions to activate their third party insurance via Ceylinco insurance. This service is open to all Dialog mobile subscribers, and the insurance premiums can be added to users’ monthly mobile bill or deducted from pre-paid credit. Following registration, customers will then receive a call from Ceylinco Insurance, and upon confirmation of details and PIN number the customer will then receive the insurance card via post within 48 hours. Ceylinco 3rd party insurance is the only 3rd party insurance that offers compensation in the event the motor cycle is condemned due to an accident. Ceylinco 3rd party motor cycle insurance pays compensation up to the market value of the motor cycle.
The launch of third party insurance cover via mobiles follows the successful introduction of accident and hospitalization cover via mobile phones, which is popular amongst all segments of Sri Lankans. Mobile Insurance provides greater convenience to customers as they can obtain insurance cover and make payments on the go, with the added benefit of safety and security for life and property.
Dialog is the only mobile service provider to offer insurance products under its value-added service offering, and has tied up with a number of leading service providers to offer a comprehensive suite of insurance services to customers. Proud to be the pioneer in the mobile insurance category, Dialog is looking to expand its insurance product offering in time to come.
