SA'S FIRST NO-LAPSE INSURANCE Metropolitan has launched a new funeral insurance product designed for South Africans with irregular incomes, allowing policyholders to keep their cover even if they miss future payments. The No-Lapse Funeral Growth Plan targets an estimated 11.9 million people in the foundation market, including informal workers, domestic workers and small business owners. Customers can make flexible contributions without debit orders and permanently secure their cover after paying a total of R1,500 within the first year. The mobile-first product is managed through WhatsApp and also rewards referrals with additional cover. Metropolitan says the initiative aims to improve financial inclusion and reduce policy lapses across South Africa. Full story - ln.run/axlf9 Pictured - Peter Tshiguvho, CEO of Metropolitan
