Smart introduces PH's first load offer with free accident insurance

Drivers of public utility vehicles (PUVs) will be among the first to enjoy the benefits of safer, worry-free travel through TNT SecureLoad—a revolutionary prepaid airtime load offer of Smart Communications, bundled with free accident micro-insurance in partnership with emerging market insurance player, BIMA.

TNT SecureLoad aims to provide members of the transport sector access to personal accident insurance using one of the most ubiquitous tools of today—the mobile phone.

“We are happy to provide this innovative service to Filipinos. Aside from giving more value to their prepaid airtime load, our new TNT SecureLoad offers open the door to broader financial inclusion, literacy, and security for the beneficiaries of this service,” said Ramon R. Isberto, public affairs head for PLDT and Smart. 

“We are thrilled to be rolling out this service in partnership with Smart. BIMA’s success in the mobile insurance space, with a presence in 14 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America and a registered customer base of 24 million, is a testament to the role mobile technology can play to make insurance accessible to underserved consumers in emerging markets,” said BIMA regional manager Harish Karakoti.

The built-in accident insurance service is available through Smart’s value brand TNT. “By offering a convenient way to get insurance coverage, TNT expands its services to subscribers who already enjoy our affordable call, text, and data packages. We are pleased with this partnership with BIMA, which enables us to make this service available to more mobile users,” said Joanne B. Hatulan, TNT marketing head.

Members of the PUV sector can avail of the load service with built-in accident insurance in three ways.

First, PUV drivers can get the TNT Trip ng Tropa SIM for P30, which comes preloaded with unlimited all-net SMS good for two days, free P50,000 personal accident death or disability benefit, and P300 daily hospital accident benefit valid for 7 days.

Second, customers can subscribe to the TNT Secure70 or S70 load offer for P70. Valid for 7 days, this comes with unlimited all-net SMS, 70 minutes of Smart, TNT and Sun calls, free P50,000 personal accident death or disability benefit, and P300 daily hospitalization benefit for a maximum of 30 days.

Finally, TNT Secure300 or S300 TNT load variant comes with unlimited all-net SMS, 300 minutes of Smart, TNT and Sun calls, plus 300 MB open access mobile data, with free P50,000 personal accident death benefit, and P300 daily hospitalization accident benefit. This may be availed of for as low as P300 and is good for 30 days.

Current TNT users may subscribe to SecureLoad offers by texting S70 or S300 to 4545.

The free insurance coverage will commence upon registration to the service. PUV drivers simply need to provide their personal details to BIMA by keying in REG Name/Lastname/Age/BeneficiaryName/City and sending to 2462. They will then receive an SMS notification the following day confirming their insurance coverage.

TNT Trip ng Tropa, which aims to benefit PUV drivers nationwide, will soon be rolled out to other sectors across the country./Source: Smart Public Affairs Group

GCash cautions against gambling apps used for phishing

A recent investigation by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and the leading mobile wallet GCash, has led to the discovery of certain gambling sites and apps which were used for account takeovers in the recent surge of phishing scams. Additionally, some influencers may have unknowingly promoted these gaming apps without being aware of their fraudulent nature. GCash is now cautioning its users to be extremely careful when accessing online gambling sites and apps, and to avoid them altogether if possible. In this latest scheme, perpetrators created gambling apps while falsely claiming to be accredited by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). These apps deceive users with a verification process, redirecting them to a fake GCash website or payment page to top up betting credits. From there, fraudsters were able to access sensitive information such as credit card details, passwords, GCash numbers, MPINs, OTPs, and other personal data that can be exploited to gain unau...
