Singlife Philippines, the country’s leading digital life insurer, has strengthened its partnership with Globe Telecom to introduce Budget Protect, an embedded insurance product which customers can avail with every Globe bill payment made through the GlobeOne App.
With Budget Protect, Globe customers can receive ?nancial protection equivalent to 12 times of their monthly bill when they pay for their Postpaid or Broadband bill via the GlobeOne App. This coverage provides a safety net for a one-month period. If death or permanent disability occurs within this time frame, the bene?t will be paid out to help customers or their families manage essential expenses during di?cult times.
Expanding access to protection
Singlife Philippines’ Chief Executive O?cer Lester Cruz expressed excitement about this milestone:
“We are taking our partnership with Globe to the next level—marking a historic ?rst between a telecom company and an insurance provider in the Philippines. This initiative brings us closer to our mission of empowering Filipinos with a better way to ?nancial independence. By embedding meaningful insurance solutions into everyday transactions, we make protection more accessible—all it takes is a simple toggle when paying Globe bills through the GlobeOne App.”
Globe Telecom’s Head of Consumer Mobile Business Eric Leif Tanbauco echoed this commitment: “At Globe, we go beyond connectivity to enhance our customers’ lives. Through this partnership with Singlife, we ensure our subscribers stay both connected and protected. Budget Protect minimizes ?nancial setbacks, allowing our customers to focus on what truly matters—family, passions, and goals. It’s an easy, affordable insurance solution they can rely on anytime, anywhere.”
How Budget Protect works
Budget Protect provides coverage equal to 12 months of a customer’s Postpaid or Broadband bill in case of permanent disability or death. The premium is just 1% of the total bill and is paid along with the customer’s bill via the GlobeOne App.
Getting covered is simple: When settling their bill, customers can toggle on Budget Protect within the GlobeOne App. Coverage for that month will be equivalent to 12 times their bill amount. For example, if a customer’s Postpaid bill is P1,000, they get P12,000 in coverage for just ?10. Coverage accumulates* with each bill payment, up to a maximum of P3 million. In case of disability or death, Singlife will pay out the total accumulated coverage, which can help cover essential expenses, including Globe bills.

A growing partnership for ?nancial security Prior to Budget Protect, Globe and Singlife Philippines have worked together in meaningful initiatives. In 2024, Globe customers were given the opportunity to redeem Singlife’s 3-in-1 Protection Plan with their Globe Rewards points via the GlobeOne App. In the same year, Globe Platinum customers were also offered options to get premium health protection bundled with their mobile plans. Singlife Philippines and Globe Telecom will continue to innovate, making insurance more accessible and affordable for Filipinos.
