Getting Started with Casava
What is Casava?
Casava is an insurtech platform protecting you and everything you love with one affordable and easy-to-use subscription. We’re simplifying the insurance process and making sure we’re there for you when something goes wrong without experiencing any hurdles or leaving you stranded.
What Casava Protects— Your Income
Casava is pioneering Nigeria’s first Income Protection Insurance to protect employees from the financial impact of job loss. With Casava’s Income Protection you can insure your income and get paid monthly for 6 months if you lose your job.
Who is Income Protection Insurance For?
If you were laid off today, would you be able to survive on savings, or benefits (if any)? If not, you’ll need some other way to keep paying the bills and might want to consider an income protection plan. Income protection insurance is a financial safety net designed to ensure you receive a regular income if you lose your job so you can focus on getting another.
How Casava Works
We cover two types of job loss:
Dismissal — We’ll protect you from involuntary loss of employment due to dismissal from work for reasons outside your control.
Business Closure — We’ll be here if you are out of a job because your place of work shut down.
Casava doesn’t cover voluntary resignation, salary delays, pay cuts, termination due to employee misconduct.
What Casava Offers
Income benefits up to N2,000,000. When you’re creating an Income Protection plan, we’ll recommend 3 cover packages for you — 30%, 50% or 75% of your monthly income. You pay a percentage of your preferred cover as a premium; monthly or annually.
