Other benefits include up to 2% per annum returns* for the first policy year, no lock-in period and unlimited withdrawals with zero penalties. 

Gilbert Chuah, Head of Mobile Financial Services, Singtel’s International Group says, “Dash EasyEarn represents the next steps for Dash as it grows to become a more inclusive everyday app that will play a bigger part in enabling our customers’ digital lifestyles. With Dash EasyEarn, customers can start growing their savings with greater convenience with a fully-digital insurance product accessible on their mobile phones. We will continue to use technology to glean deeper business insights, better understand the needs and habits of consumers and bring them the products and services that they want.” 

Dash EasyEarn was co-created by Singtel and Etiqa to meet the financial needs of digital-savvy consumers, who increasingly seek simple and convenient solutions through all-in-one mobile apps.
