Being insured is an essential part of financial planning. Insurance guarantees that you will be financially protected in case of any significant unfortunate occurrence in life that might cause loss of finances in one way or another. According to Investopedia, “Insurance is a contract, represented by a policy, in which an individual or entity receives financial protection or reimbursement against losses from an insurance company.” Basically, insurance protects from financial losses resulting from damage, injury, or injury caused to a third party for a smaller price. There are a wide variety of insurance policies, including health, property, life, and auto.

While there are a number of insurance companies through which you can get insured directly in Egypt, including Metlife, Allianz, Bupa, and AXA, many provide special rates for entities including banks, syndicates, and certain employers, making the process easier for their clients. Moreover, clients in Egypt can opt for seeking assistance from insurance brokers, such as Deraya, GoodLife, or Lockton, who create custom insurance plans by combining the services of various insurance companies.

Banks remain one of the most crucial entities that offer insurance, which is why we’ve provided a list of banks that offer comprehensive insurance plans here in Egypt.
