With effect from 2 Jan 2024, the nomination of beneficiaries’ framework is governed by the Insurance Act and Insurance (Nomination of Beneficiaries) Regulations 2009.

The prescribed statutory forms must be completed in full in order to be valid and duly registered by us. Any statutory form that is not properly filled up and completed in full will be rejected.

2.   Nomination must be submitted on the relevant statutory form. The statutory form must be properly filled up and completed in full.
