Leading insurtech startup gamp has announced its partnership with one of Nigeria’s leading insurance companies, Leadway Assurance, to deliver Africa’s first insurance, after-sales support, and repair services for devices in Nigeria.
The partnership announced by the organizations is aimed at providing device protection for individuals and businesses. The device protection plan covers the cost of repair of damaged devices for subscribers through any of gamp’s repair centers or Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) accredited partners across Nigeria.
Under this innovative plan, a subscriber can request a repair online from the comfort of their home, where the affected gadget will be picked up, repaired, and delivered by gamp.
Speaking on the partnership, Umashime Oguzor-Doghro, Head, Partnership and Microinsurance, Leadway Holdings, said, “This partnership is part of efforts by Leadway to expand access to insurance services by embedding them into the customer’s lifestyle. With over 130 million devices in Nigeria today, the need to provide an insurance cover to indemnify consumers against the cost of repairs cannot be overemphasized”.
Boluwatife Omotayo, Chief Executive Officer, gamp said, “The median age of Nigerians is 18. As the demand for smartphones and computers is growing quickly, the need for reliable and affordable device protection and support is also on the rise. The partnership reinforces gamp’s position as a leading provider of embedded device protection and related services in Africa”.
The device protection plan is priced as low as N3,000 per year with the option to subscribe to the monthly, bi-annual, or 12-month service plan. The plan covers all types of gadgets, regardless of brand, location of purchase, condition, or model. The plan can be purchased online or in-store from partner stores.
