Dash PET Insurance Savings Plan

Dash PET is the second insurance savings plan offered by Etiqa Insurance that earns a crediting interest rate and is only eligible to Dash users. The insurance savings plan is similar to Dash EasyEarn whereby there is no monthly fees, no regular top ups required and no lock in period. You can start saving from just S$50 up to S$30,000.

The name “Dash PET” sounds like an insurance plan for pets but its not. PET stands for Protect, Earn and Transact. The selling point of Dash PET is that you can transfer money from your Dash Wallet to Dash PET and vice versa.

One downside is that once you signed up for Dash PET, the debit card/credit card top up feature will be disabled for your Dash wallet. This is because as you’re able to use Dash wallet to top up your Dash PET account, they need to disable the credit/debit card top up feature because Dash PET is an insurance plan of which its premium may only be added using non-credit/debit card modes.
