Saving is the first step to achieving your financial goals and it is recommended that you save at least 20% of your salary each month. If you have just started working and find it hard to commit to this amount, start small. With insurance savings plans such as Dash PET by Etiqa Insurance, you can start small and still earn huge benefits.

What is an Insurance Saving Plan?

Insurance Savings Plans give you the best of both worlds by letting you earn more interest on your savings while protecting you at the same time. For instance, Dash PET lets you earn up to 1.3%* p.a. on your savings and offers insurance coverage that includes a death benefit, protection against COVID-19 and vaccine side effects, if any.

Insurance savings plans are an ideal option when you are looking for a safe and easy way to grow your money. Risks are generally lower, and it’s a simple way of making your money work harder. All you need to do is save!

Here’s how Dash PET can benefit you:

• It offers high returns without requiring much of your time and effort
• Capital is guaranteed; this means you will not lose the amount you have put in, no matter what happens
• No lock-in period, which gives you the flexibility to withdraw your savings anytime

Because insurance savings plans are a type of life insurance, your policy will also be protected by Singapore Deposit Insurance Corporation (SDIC).

Whether you are saving up to travel when borders reopen, or just looking for a safe way to grow your emergency funds, Dash PET’s got you covered.

Get more out of your savings with Dash PET

Dash PET is designed to help you get more out of your savings by letting you Protect, Earn and Transact. Besides protecting you with insurance coverage, it lets you earn one of the highest returns in town among all insurance savings plans, and gives you the freedom to transact whenever you like.

You don’t need a large capital to enjoy the benefits. Start small with S$50 (and up to S$30,000 if you have extra funds) to be automatically covered and enjoy the following rates:

For first S$10,000: 1.3%* p.a. for first policy year

Above first S$10,000: 0.3%* p.a. for first policy year

Interests are credited on the 1st of every month.

It is also highly liquid. With no lock-in period or fixed commitment, you can top up your policy anytime (from as little as S$1 each time) or withdraw your money whenever you need, without any penalties.

Dash PET is exclusively available via the Dash app, so you can view, top up or withdraw on your mobile anytime and anywhere. Don’t wait too long to sign up – as with most insurance savings plans, Dash PET is a limited tranche that is available on a first-come-first-serve basis.

And in case you’re wondering, Singtel Dash is available to everyone regardless of their mobile service provider.
