Which is why, we have made a step-by-step easy guide on what you will need to do. Here are the steps you can take in order to cancel your Etiqa policy.

It is important to contact Etiqa directly, so that you do not loose money or anytime when you go through an insurance agent. Even a delay of one day can cost you a lot of money. Contact the customer service department of Etiqa and state your intent to cancel your policy.

Depending on how soon you cancel your contract, you can expect to receive different amounts back.

If you cancel within 15 days of sign-up:

• Check with the insurance company if your policy is still within 15 days of sign-up. If yes, you can expect a full refund of the money you have paid so far.

If you cancel after 15 days of sign-up:

• You can still cancel, however you will not receive a full refund of the premium you have paid.

In addition, if your policy has been already been for more than 1 year, you can expect a refund which is called “surrender value”. If it is less than 1 year, you might have little or no surrender value at all.
