With the digitization of the world and introduction of Insurance Technology (InsureTech), it has become relevant that AIIG tap into this ready market especially as we make stridess to reach the retail and SME market.
The online system is in three parts –
1. An Online Portal (www.activa-ghana.com)
2. A USSD Code (*713*313#) and
3. A Mobile App – Activa Insurance
Via these media, customers will be able to purchase insurance policies including Motor, Travel, Home and Personal Accident Insurance directly online without any human intervention.
The company aims to make purchasing insurance easy and simple for the customer. Activa Online gives a 360 degrees access to insurance. Customers can get quotes, purchase insurance, make payments online and receive insurance documentation at the click of a button with access to instant claims management service.
Another facet of the Activa Online Platforms is the Insurance Premium Finance feature, which allows customers to access finance for the immediate payment of premiums in line with the National Insurance Commission’s No Premium No Cover directive.
In consultation with the insurance regulator - National Insurance Commission (NIC), AIIG is making No Premium, No Cover easier for customers to cope with by facilitating access to premium finance from partner banks and other financial institutions.
This move not only seeks to increase insurance accessibility but also complement the regulator’s efforts to increase insurance penetration in the country. It will also make it easy for buyers of insurance to access services without the usual hustle with locating insurance offices etc.
It is important to note that following new directives of the National Insurance Commission and the introduction of the new Motor Insurance Database, motor insurance premiums are the same across the country. No organization can offer different rates, as rates for all classes of motor business, Third Party, Third Party Fire and Theft and Comprehensive, have all been predetermined by the regulator and computed into the Motor Insurance Database. The Activa Online platforms are all directly integrated with the NIC’s motor insurance system. Thus, this Activa online system is the most authentic, transparent and compliant motor underwriting system on the Ghanaian market.
