OCBC Al-Amin Bank Berhad has been appointed exclusive distributor of the country\u2019s first universal takaful plan offering a high guaranteed cash payout.<\/span><\/p>\n

Supreme-i<\/span>, <\/span><\/i>developed by Great Eastern Takaful Berhad (GETB), allows certificate holders to receive greater regular income in a market dominated by high coverage and protection-based plans. <\/span><\/p>\n

They can also choose to make contribution payments for 5 or 7 years and enjoy takaful protection coverage for 13 years. <\/span><\/p>\n

GETB is a joint venture company between i-Great Capital Holdings Sdn Bhd (i-Great), a subsidiary of Great Eastern Holdings Limited and Koperasi Angkatan Tentera Berhad.<\/span><\/p>\n

GETB chief executive officer, Shahrul Azlan Shahriman said Supreme-i is the ideal financial solution for those seeking a guaranteed cash payout, as it offers customers the option of either accumulating their returns or receiving a regular cash payout annually.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe flexibility offered by Supreme-i allows customers to plan according to their lifestyle and financial needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey can enjoy 15 per cent to 20 per cent of the annual contribution, which is payable at the end of every certificate year and this gives them the opportunity to cover those smaller expenses they might incur, such as their children\u2019s school fees, car down payment or travel expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s unique about <\/span>Supreme-i<\/span><\/i> is that although it is also a takaful protection plan, it does not require any medical underwriting as we want to make the application process as seamless as possible,\u201d added Shahrul.<\/span><\/p>\n

OCBC Al-Amin chief executive officer, Syed Abdull Aziz Syed Kechik, said the offering is timely in light of the Bank\u2019s quest to meet the growing demand from customers to reap the benefits of new bancatakaful innovations that mesh with the principles of the Bank\u2019s <\/span>OCBC Life Goals<\/span><\/i> platform. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn line with our strategic plan to provide a greater number of wealth solutions to our customers, we introduced the <\/span>OCBC Life Goals<\/span><\/i> platform at OCBC Al-Amin branches recently to help customers plan for their top two life goals \u2013 retirement and children\u2019s education. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith the aid of the <\/span>OCBC Life Goals<\/span><\/i> Calculators there, we are able to better understand the customer\u2019s needs first, before proposing the right solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe see the introduction of <\/span>Supreme-i<\/span><\/i> as an integral cog in our journey toward customer education and provision of a solid array of financial planning tools. And we are confident <\/span>Supreme-i<\/span><\/i> will be well-received,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bancatakaful is founded on the principle of a strategic alliance between takaful operators and financial institutions whereby takaful products and financial products are distributed to the financial market via a common channel. <\/span><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
