What is the maximum cover that can be provided in microinsurance?
According to the Insurance Commission of the Philippines (IPC), the maximum sum of guaranteed benefits for microinsurance must not exceed 1,000 times the prevailing daily minimum wage rate for non-agricultural workers in Metro Manila. This is regulated under Section 187 of Republic Act No. 10607. Coverage amounts for specific policies and products will vary across providers and companies, and customers should do their due diligence before purchasing any microinsurance for themselves.
Thanks to Igloo’s wide network of insurer partners, premiums on microinsurance products offered are always competitively-priced and offer comprehensive coverage.
