Do you have a Sun Life insurance plan?
Do you want to know how you can pay your premiums online?
In this blog post, I’ll show you exactly how to do that so that you don’t have to go to the payment center anymore and do it at home instead.
Even if we’re already on GCQ or General Community Quarantine, it’s still safer to just stay at home and take advantage of online facilities like BPI online banking for your banking transactions and bills payment.
In fact, I just paid my Sun Life insurance premiums through my BPI online account and I’m glad I didn’t have to go to the bank anymore to deposit the payment.
I just logged in to my BPI online account and transferred my payment online at the comfort of our home.
