Max Life Insurance launches ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ feature

| insurance

Making an effort towards providing the best services during covid times, Max Life Insurance has introduced ‘Buy Now – Pay at Approval’ feature for the customer while purchasing online policies. In its continuous endeavor to strengthen customer trust, the feature that is available for policies bought online, allows customers to apply for a policy with the proposal form and a payment instruction through a digital payment method, without the actual deduction of money until the proposal is evaluated by the insurer. The actual premium deduction happens just before the policy issuance.

The feature ensures that the customer does not need to make any payment at the time of applying for the life insurance policy and the charge to the customer’s credit card happens only at the time of the insurer accepting the risk.

Reviewing data for online term sales of Max Life, it has been observed that nearly 8% of

Dow Jones Posts Small Gain as Boeing Predicts Tough Decade Ahead, Walmart Launches Insurance Business

October 6, 2020

The stock market was volatile on Tuesday after posting solid gains to start the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) was up 0.37% at 1:10 p.m. EDT today, outperforming the other major indexes.

One thing keeping the stock market in check could be comments from Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell, who warned on Tuesday that too little government aid would lead to a weak economic recovery. Congress has yet to agree on additional stimulus measures, and an agreement does not appear close.

Shares of Boeing (NYSE: BA) were moving in the wrong direction on Tuesday after the airplane manufacturer predicted a difficult decade ahead. Meanwhile, the stock of Walmart (NYSE: WMT) was little changed after the retailer announced an insurance brokerage business.
