    we are responsible for resolving your complaint. If we need to pass it to someone else due to the nature or complexity of the enquiry/complaint, we will inform you.

    we will confirm the details of your complaint and clarify if we are unsure.

    we will ensure that you and your complaint are treated fairly.

  • Resolution
    we aim to achieve a mutually acceptable resolution to all complaints.

Key points to remember

  1. Free Look Period
    The certificate may be cancelled by returning it to the Takaful Operator by hand or registered post within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by you or a person who resides your residence, we shall then refund the sum of:
     
    • The amount of contributions that have not been allocated to purchase units;
    • Value of units that have been allocated (if any) at their respective Net Asset Value on the Next Valuation Date;
    • Any Tabarru and Service Charge that have been deducted;
      Less medical expenses which may have been incurred on the covered person. Please note that for the purpose of determining the period of fifteen (15) days, this certificate will be deemed to be returned to the Takaful Operator on the date we have received it or the date that it has been posted to us by registered post.
       
  2. Terminating Your Takaful Coverage To Enter into a New Takaful Plan
    Upon lapsing or surrendering an existing takaful certificate in order to replace with another (by the same or a different takaful operator) you will lose out!
    • The new certificate is usually of a higher contribution based on the current age
    • You may need to pay extra contribution or be denied takaful coverage if there are changes to your health.
    • In most medical and critical illness policies, the waiting period (the duration when no claim is payable) resumes from the certificate issue date or reinstatement date, whichever is later. You can meet your financial objectives by upgrading your takaful coverage instead of replacing it. Exercise your right to keep your financial objectives on track and be wary of undue influence from any party to terminate your existing certificate.
       
  3. Contribution payment
    • You can pay your contribution via cash (Quarterly, Half Yearly & Yearly mode) at our Great Eastern Life Malaysia branches, Internet Banking (CIMB Click, Maybank2U & PBe Online Banking) & JomPAY (available at Internet Banking or Mobile Banking of 40 banks), or
    • Cheque (Quarterly, Half Yearly & Yearly mode). If your contribution payment by cheque is payable to Great Eastern Takaful Berhad, or
    • Auto debit facilities via selected Banks: Maybank, RHB Bank, CIMB Bank, Public Bank & Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN), or
    • Direct Debit Authorisation (DDA) facilities via 13 banks under MyClear, or
    • Biro Perkhidmatan Angkasa (BPA), applicable for Government staff only, or
    • Credit Card - payment through Malaysian Visa or MasterCard account.

      *For Direct Channel products, contribution payment is through Credit Card only.

      When paying contributions, please make sure you obtain our official receipt which is a computer generated document and does not require a signature. Note that no receipt will be issued for contributions payment made through banker’s order, auto-debit and credit card facilities. In those cases, confirmation from respective bank or credit card statement constitutes evidence of payment.
