BSP Life recently declared its highest ever bonus allocation in its 145-year history. $32million has been distributed to eligible customer’s policies for the 2020 financial year, which is backed by a strong and diversified $842million investment portfolio. Despite the impacts of COVID-19, customers enjoy a sustained Bonus rate (increase in 2019 from 2% to 2.5% of the policy sum insured) which has been maintained in 2020. This is attributed to the resilience of the Company built up over many years, and the loyalty and confidence of its valued customers.
HOW BONUSES WORK
