Introducing Padi4ALife: Airtime-Based Insurance

Padi4Life is an affordable airtime-based insurance. It is a simple and convenient way to access affordable life protection plan with your phone for registered Airtel subscribers at N20/daily with a benefit plan of N500, 000 upon death or total permanent disability. This secures the Life Assured cover in the event of death and ‘total permanent disability’ (when the Life Assured becomes totally and permanently unable to work in any occupation which the Life Assured is reasonably able to do, given his knowledge, experience, education, training or ability, because of an injury or illness). The benefit is payable on ‘total permanent disability’ or death from both natural and accidental causes of the Life Assured (Airtel subscriber) subject to the conditions and exclusions noted below.
