Multiple Benefits Scheme (GMBS)- Investment-Linked

As we advance towards a financial planning era, consumers are becoming more discerning and aware for the need of financial protection and planning. According to recent Malaysian statistics, an average of two (2) in every three (3) Malaysians will contract heart diseases, stroke or cancer. This implies that anyone of us could be in this category. Fortunately, the innovation in technology and medical studies have paved the way for a majority of these illnesses to be cured provided we have sufficient funds.

So, how do we fund for high cost of medical treatment these days? Just save a few dollars with us a day and Great Eastern's GMBIS will take care of your medical bills. GMBIS is an affordable insurance plan with comprehensive protection against loss of life, total permanent disability, accident and the 36 critical illnesses. Hospital benefit can also be included in this plan. In addition, the plan offers investment benefits payable either upon permanent disability, loss of life, maturity or diagnosis of any of the 36 critical illnesses. The total investment value depends on the performance of the unit funds and the total number of years of contribution.
