CommInsure aims to make super insurance more attainable for all
CommInsure plans to make superannuation funded insurance more attainable and less financially painful for all Australians, with its latest offering.
Consumers who fund their CommInsure Total Care Plan Super insurance through rollovers from their superannuation fund will earn an annual renewal rebate of up to 15 per cent, the insurer revealed.
CommInsure general manager retail advice, Tim Browne, announced that the Total Care Plan was now available to members of complying funds with immediate effect.
Customers will be able to nominate a super fund to pay premiums enabling CommInsure to send a rollover request directly to the fund for payments on the behalf of clients.
“The inclusion of this new service demonstrates our focus on the customer, ensuring comprehensive insurance is attainable for all Australians – particularly for those watching their back pocket,” Browne said.
“When paid with super money, Total Care Plan Super is a tax efficient insurance cover option which also offers an annual renewal rebate of up to 15 per cent from the first policy anniversary.”
