Frequently asked questions
How much can I save on Momentum Myriad with Multiply?+
Multiply Premier members can save up to 60% on Myriad life premiums - the advertised maximum, achievable only at top Multiply tier with strong Safety Score, Safe Dayz, Healthy Heart Score and Active Dayz engagement. Moderate engagement typically delivers 15-35% premium discount. Multiply membership is a separate fee added to your Momentum portfolio.
What is the Momentum Myriad Premium Payback option?+
A premium-back option that returns up to 20% of Myriad premiums every 10 years. Adding the option costs approximately 11% on top of your base premium - so you pay slightly more upfront for the bonus. Useful for clients who want a built-in cash refund mechanic on long-term cover.
Is Momentum Myriad a good life insurance?+
Momentum publishes one of the strongest claim payout rates in SA - 99.8% of valid life claims paid in 2024 (R6.6bn total claims paid). Multiply integration delivers meaningful premium discounts. Modular benefit design lets clients build cover precisely - life, disability, critical illness, severe illness, income protection, all on one policy. Trade-off: maximising savings requires sustained Multiply engagement.
What is Momentum HealthReturns?+
HealthReturns is Momentum's cashback programme paid into a HealthSaver account - up to R3,000 cashback per family per month plus up to 4 free GP visits. Applies to medical aid members and feeds into the Multiply benefit calculation. Distinct from the medical scheme contribution itself.
