Existing claim
All claims under the transferred policies, which are currently being dealt with by QGI will be handled by HKSI or its representative. If you have an existing claim, it will continue to be dealt with by QGI until the Effective Date. You will not need to take any action, such as by submitting new claim forms to HKSI, as we will arrange the proposed Transfer. The proposed Transfer does not impact your relationships with your insurance intermediary (which may include Hang Seng Bank as agent). If you have a claim that is being dealt with by QGI at the Effective Date, we will write to you with HKSI’s contact details.
