We’re More Than Just an Insurer—We’re Your Neighbour Through Life’s What-Ifs.
A Foreign Worker Bond (commonly known as security bond) is a commitment to reimburse the government if either you or your foreign worker violates or fail to adhere to the terms and conditions of the work permit. This bond typically takes the form of a banker's or insurer's guarantee. For each non-Malaysian Work Permit holder you employ, you are required to purchase a $5,000 security bond.
The deductible helps to prevent frequent claims and encourages responsible use of the policy. It also keeps the overall premium more affordable for all policyholders.
If you sell your private car, you may inform us to cancel your policy.

No, you do not need to pay $5,000 upfront to MOM as we act as a guarantor by issuing a Letter of Guarantee to MOM on your behalf.

Here's how you can determine the effective date based on each situation:For New FDW:The policy's effective date should be the date your FDW arrives in Singapore. This ensures that insurance coverage begins when the FDW starts her employment duties upon arrival in the country.For Transferred FDW:The policy's effective date should be the day you wish to apply for the issuance of her work permit at MOM. This ensures that insurance coverage is in place when the FDW's work permit is processed and approved for transfer to your employment.For Renewal FDW:The policy's effective date should be one day after the current work permit's expiry date. This ensures that insurance coverage seamlessly continues without any gaps when renewing the FDW's work permit for continued employment.
