Here's how you can determine the effective date based on each situation:For New FDW:The policy's effective date should be the date your FDW arrives in Singapore. This ensures that insurance coverage begins when the FDW starts her employment duties upon arrival in the country.For Transferred FDW:The policy's effective date should be the day you wish to apply for the issuance of her work permit at MOM. This ensures that insurance coverage is in place when the FDW's work permit is processed and approved for transfer to your employment.For Renewal FDW:The policy's effective date should be one day after the current work permit's expiry date. This ensures that insurance coverage seamlessly continues without any gaps when renewing the FDW's work permit for continued employment.
The coverage period for our Enhanced MaidAssure is 14 months or 26 months with the additional 2 months included as mandated by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in case the FDW overstays in Singapore after her work permit expires.
We accept payment via Visa/Master Retail Debit or Credit Card online.

It is advisable to make a claim on your own insurance policy. Making a claim against motorists from another country can turn out to be costly and time-consuming. If you are not at fault, your NCD will not be affected.
Proceed to any of our Approved Reporting Centres within 24 hours or by the next working day with a copy of the police report. We will proceed to process the Fire or Acts of Vandalism claims once investigation is completed. For Theft cases, as the police will need three months to complete their investigation therefore we will only pay out the claim after the investigation is completed.
A No-Claim Discount (‘NCD’) is an entitlement given to you if no claim has been made under your policy for a year or more with the current/existing insurer. It reduces the premium you have to pay for the following year. This is your insurer's way of recognising and rewarding you for having been a careful driver. There is a standard followed by all insurers in setting the NCD, depending on your type of vehicle (private, commercial or motorcycle) and the period of insurance with no claim. The following table shows how the NCD is set by all insurers across the industry. Private Car Period of insurance with no claim Discount on renewal 1 year 10% 2 years 20% 3 years 30% 4 years 40% 5 years or longer 50% Motorcycle/Commercial Vehicle Period of insurance with no claim Discount on renewal 1 year 10% 2 years 15% 3 years or longer 20%
Excess, also known as the deductible, is the first amount of the claim that the policyholder needs to bear in view of the claim.
