Bad service

No contact even when one have sent docs - when one claims for death - the service should be called excellent as one is mourning and needs to bury their loved one - this is really bad service- claims like this should be paid in 4 hours

Hi Elias, as confirmed in our SMS to you, the 20 working days is a general guideline on our complaint resolution timeline, but given the nature of your complaint it will definitely not take long to resolve. Your complaint has already been escalated to our claims management team to work on and  I will let you know as soon as their feedback has been received. Regards

I honestly give up with the Company - I lodged a claim on the 15 Feb 2023 - now 48 hours is 2 days which would be Thursday and Friday - I should have received my payout on Friday. I had to lodge a complain for them to do something on Hello Peter, I took a loan to Bury my Dad, now that they paid who is now responsible for paying the interest on the loan, I am now liable for that because of the incompetence of Assupol? this is pathetic - what was going to happen if I could not get a loan? Pathetic, Pathetic - even now no phone call only emails and SMS.

Good day Elias, my sincerest apology again for the frustration caused by this matter and the undue technical challenges which resulted in the delayed payment. We confirm that the claim has now been paid.  Our senior claims management team is hard at work to improve this process and prevent similar challenges in future. Regards, Assupol Complaints Manager.
