Of course, you can find these values ​​easily in the company’s financial statements listed on the official website.

Get to know the company’s reputation

Find out information about the life insurance company in question, starting from the history of their achievements, as well as important reviews from those who have purchased their insurance products.

Get to know the company’s claims process, services, and more. You can do a search about the company in various mass media reports or consult with a financial planner who has good competence regarding insurance.

Do a product comparison with more than 3 insurance companies

When you feel that a life insurance offer by an agent or telemarketer has met your protection needs, don’t immediately agree.

Do a comparison between the same product from different insurance companies. Don’t hesitate to contact the insurance company or product marketing agency for further consultation.

As with buying a house, car or other assets, it is important to do a comparison before buying so you can be more calm.

Can’t be too expensive & too cheap

Insurance is a product of financial risk mitigation, it is necessary to measure the amount of insurance capacity with your income.
