Ncell partners with MetLife Nepal to bundle mobile data with insurance coverage, promoting financial inclusion.
Ncell and MetLife Nepal have launched ‘Data Sangai Jeevan Beema’, a pioneering service that combines mobile data packs with life and critical illness insurance protection. Through this partnership, Ncell data customers can now choose from two packages that provide both data and insurance coverage, aiming to make financial protection accessible to a wider audience.
Insurance-Linked Data Pack Details
- Rs. 99 Pack (inclusive of taxes) provides 100MB data valid for three days, along with term life insurance of Rs. 200,000 and critical illness coverage of Rs. 200,000, valid for 30 days from the subscription date.
- Rs. 39 Pack offers 100MB data valid for three days, bundled with term life insurance of Rs. 50,000 and critical illness coverage of Rs. 50,000, valid for 30 days from the subscription date.
Customers can subscribe via the Ncell App by selecting a preferred pack and completing a short information form required by MetLife Nepal, or by dialing *123*4#. Term life coverage becomes active immediately after subscription, while critical illness coverage has a 30-day waiting period.
Promoting Financial Inclusion
This initiative targets communities that have traditionally been underserved, providing meaningful insurance coverage at a low entry price with fully digital onboarding. The partnership represents a significant step forward in Nepal’s journey toward financial inclusion and social protection.
Upanga Dutta, Chief Consumer Business Officer of Ncell, stated, “We are delighted to partner with MetLife Nepal to strengthen the safety net for our customers. This collaboration goes beyond financial protection; it’s a social commitment that extends insurance coverage to the wider Nepali community at the micro level. At Ncell, creating value for our customers is at the heart of what we do.”
Arun Bahadur Basnet, Chief Distribution Officer of MetLife Nepal, added, “Protection is a right, not a privilege. This partnership means that even a small, short-term data purchase can provide longer-term peace of mind for you and your family.”
