Homeland International and Diaspora Insurance announce partnership

Global repatriation service provider Homeland International has launched its new Homeland International Diaspora Funeral Cash Plan (HIDFCP), a repatriation insurance product developed in partnership with Diaspora Insurance.

The plan is designed to provide financial peace of mind for the African diaspora living anywhere in the world, addressing the unique challenges and high costs associated with repatriation and funeral expenses.

The HIDFCP is exclusively available for African diaspora and offers a solution to the limitations of traditional travel insurance and funeral plans, which often do not adequately cover the full costs of repatriation and can have expensive monthly premiums. The HIDFCP is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority, ensuring reliability and security for policyholders.

Key features of the new plan include:

• Guaranteed acceptance: no medical examination is required for enrolment
• Immediate payout: upon proof of death, the plan provides an immediate cash payout, which can then be used to cover the repatriation with Homeland International
• Flexible currency: the payout can be received in pounds, euros, or US dollars
• Worldwide protection: the plan provides coverage for over 20 African nationalities living and working abroad in countries like the UK, European Union (EU) member states, the Middle East, the US, Australia, and Canada
• Affordable and fitting solution: the plan is specifically designed to be an affordable and suitable financial solution for the diaspora community and their families.

“We are proud to partner with Diaspora Insurance to bring this essential product to the African diaspora,” said Samuel Tester, Operations Director at Homeland International.

“The HIDFCP provides a much-needed solution, offering peace of mind and financial security to African individuals and families who wish to honour their loved ones with a dignified repatriation,” added Malcolm Van Den Berg, Head of Africa at Homeland International.

Dr Edwin Tsvere, the Channels Director for Diaspora Insurance, added: “I believe this collaboration with Homeland International is highly beneficial and effectively addresses the needs of the African diaspora community. The seamless integration of services from both companies provides much-needed peace of mind and support during difficult times. The commitment to understanding and serving the specific requirements of Africans living abroad, while ensuring their final wishes are respected in their homeland, is truly commendable. This partnership exemplifies excellent customer focus and operational efficiency, making a significant positive impact on those it serves.”
