Personal Safety And The Necessity Of Emergency Insurance
For those who have had their wallets and handbags stolen before, they will appreciate the fact that a personal emergency insurance is critical in protecting their savings, identity and most importantly, personal safety. No matter how careful you are, accidents may happen and jeopardise your personal properties and safety.
One of the most traumatic experiences that comes with losing your wallet is the need to contact your bank(s) to report the loss of your stolen credit and debit cards immediately, so as to prevent the pickpockets from using your cards to take out cash or to pay for goods. This is easier said than done, because sometimes your bag and your mobile phone may also be taken from you, which makes it much harder to retrieve the correct phone numbers and to dial the calls right away.
A report by the Daily Mail indicates that the flaws in chip and PIN technology makes it possible for people to abuse stolen credit cards. Basically, a small circuit board containing a computer chip and transmitter can be attached to the chip on the plastic card and concealed up the sleeve. This communicates with a computer stored in a backpack worn by the criminal when using the card at a till or cash machine. Instead of keying in a four digit PIN to authorise the transaction, they only need to key in a random code.
If the incident takes place in a place near your home, it may be a slight relief as you can make the appropriate calls from home to cancel your cards, and then try to obtain further assistance from your friends. However, the presence of friends and family cannot be taken for granted, and if you have your belongings stolen in an unfamiliar location – either locally or abroad – you will find it difficult even to make a call or take a bus or metro journey without the necessary amount of cash.
Even when you are lucky enough to make your way back home to cancel your cards and possibly to take out money from your bank account by other means, you may be faced with another difficulty: how do you regain entry to your property without the keys?
Moreover, if you have lost a handbag and all the contents inside the bag, this often makes it difficult to contact family members, friends or acquaintances for help, as most people tend to store the useful contacts in their mobile phones.
For some, the experience of such unexpected emergency may also mean that they might have to spend hours reporting the loss, and this causes them to miss important business meetings with clients or events. They may find themselves not being able to contact their counterparts and ask them to postpone or cancel the appointments.
Moreover, identification documents contained in the stolen wallet or bag – bank cards, driving licence, membership cards, and for some even passports – may also be exploited by criminals to conduct fraud activities. These illegal exploitation of your data is hard to discover and may have serious consequences.
Our personal emergency policy, starting from £5 a month, covers you against the potential risk of these accidents, and can provide immediate support to you in case of emergencies. The key features of the policy plan include:
- Immediate assistance with cancellation of stolen cards
- Emergency contact number available for your use
- Inform your friends and family members in first instance
- Arrange locksmith service to regain access to your property
- Emergency cash for Gold Cover
- Personal possessions claim cover of up to £500 for Gold Cover
- £1 goes to charity
In essence, we will help you make the right emergency contacts and get the contingency services to minimise disruption to your personal and business life. Moreover, we will help you arrange a locksmith for you to regain entry to your property and to get in contact with your family and friends to reassure them of your safety. For those protected by our Gold Cover plans, we will also offer emergency cash assistance to allow you to resolve emergency needs and to get yourself back on track as quickly as possible.
Subsequently, you are also entitled to claim compensation for the stolen possessions.
In the long run, this small investment can not only save you money but safeguards your valuable personal data, home security and personal safety.
Like all insurance products, exclusions and limitations apply. Please read the full terms and conditions to understand whether our policy is suitable for your needs.
