KUALA LUMPUR – Agrobank today launches a new Family Life Takaful plan known as Takaful Agro Mabrur-i, a comprehensive takaful protection plan that offers additional benefit such as the badal hajj and cash waqaf to its Muslim customers.
The badal hajj benefit is a new coverage included in the Takaful Agro Mabrur-i plan of which upon the death or permanent total disability of the participant during the coverage period, the benefit will be paid to the badal hajj nominee to perform hajj on behalf of the participant.
According to Dato’ Wan Mohd Fadzmi Wan Othman, President/ Chief Executive Officer of Agrobank, the Takaful Agro Mabrur-i is a new addition in the banks takaful product array. Our first takaful plan known as Takaful Kasih-i and Takaful Kasih-i Plus which offer a personal accident protection have received encouraging response from our customers nationwide and the boost in the sales has inspired us to come out with a more comprehensive coverage plan that can cover both accidental and natural death and disability with additional benefit (badal hajj) to attract our Muslim customers.
Unlike Takaful Kasih Plus which targets a low income group, the new Takaful Agro Mabrur-i focuses on a slightly higher income segment and we expect to attract 5,000 customers in the first year of its launch with total targeted premium of RM3 million, said Dato’ Wan Mohd Fadzmi.
