New to Adulting? Here’s a Gen Z’s Guide to Getting Insured and Protected

Growing up, adulthood seemed so far away, now look at you, fast forward two decades later and suddenly you’re paying bills, filing taxes and being responsible for your life choices!

Taking a page from self-help books, one of the most important choices in life is you, investing in yourself, your health, safety and finances.

That’s where insurance comes in.

Wait! My job gives me insurance already, what are you talking about?

Well here’s the thing, while you are insured to a degree by your company, everyone is different.

It’s good to have company insurance but there are limitations to it. For example, in the case of emergencies, you may potentially use up your allotted insured amount.

Additionally, your company’s coverage might be limited, may not last if you switch jobs, and may not cover situations that are unique to you (like coverage for your vehicles or getting protection during that solo trip you’re planning).

So, how do you buy insurance?

Back in the day, you needed to look out for insurance agents and reach out to them personally to browse through different varieties of insurance.

Today, just like everything else, you can browse and purchase insurance protection online and even on your phone.

Simply open up your ShopeePay or Shopee app and check out the variety of quick and easy application insurances for your day to day life, brought to you by only the best insurance industry providers.

Psst.. plus ShopeePay has exclusive deals that you can’t get anywhere else!

Split up your insurance/takaful payments

Given that insurance or takaful protections are not a frequent purchase, they can be quite a commitment to pay in lumpsum. When you purchase insurance or takaful through the ShopeePay or Shopee app, you can check out with SPayLater and split your payments up to 12 months instalments with 0% additional fee options.

Like we said earlier, not everyone has the same insurance needs, and this list is not exhaustive. We encourage you to head out, explore your needs and discover insurance or takaful policies that fit your lifestyle and safety needs.
