GIRO deduction will not take place if the policy is under Premium Holiday or Premium Shortfall Charge.

There are many rejection reasons associated with hardcopy GIRO forms.

Some common reasons include:

There are no fees or charges associated with setting up a GIRO arrangement.

How do I change my GIRO account?

You can apply for a new GIRO arrangement, which will replace any existing GIRO arrangement. There is no need to terminate the existing GIRO arrangement before applying for a new one.

How long does it take to process my GIRO application?

When applying for eGIRO through MyManulife, your application can be completed within minutes and approved within a day. For eligible applications using Interbank GIRO Application Form, your application may take up to 60 days to become active.

How do I know if my GIRO application is approved?

Once your eGIRO/GIRO application has been successfully processed, we will send you a GIRO Approval notification through either eComms or mail, depending on your document preference.

Will I be notified when a GIRO deduction occurs?

Upon every scheduled GIRO deduction, we will liaise with your bank to debit the premium amount from your bank account. Your bank may notify you of such deductions, depending on your notification preference with the bank. Alternatively, you may also refer to your bank statement for the respective successful deduction.

LifeReady and LifeReady Plus plans

Do I qualify for Health Advantage Benefit?

For LifeReady and LifeReady Plus policies, if you are a non-smoker and have been accepted at standard terms upon policy issuance, you would have qualified for Health Advantage Benefit and granted a premium discount on your policy basic premiums.

You will continue to enjoy premium discount on your policy basic premiums throughout the premium payment term if you meet the required health targets.

What do I need to furnish to continue the discounted premium?

You will receive a letter from Manulife 90 days before the end of your second policy anniversary. This letter will guide you on how to provide specific health data, including your current height, weight, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure readings.

To facilitate this process, please download the necessary form, complete it with the required information, and submit the relevant health reports. You are welcome to submit your health data at any time before the end of your second policy anniversary.

Do note that the continuation of your Health Advantage Benefits is dependent on satisfactory health status.
