The product offering will include the following benefits:
PROVIDENT FUND

Within this framework, members can allocate a portion of their annual salary, ranging from 3% to 27.5%, and simultaneously capitalize on the tax advantages linked to these contributions.
GROUP RISK BENEFITS
SAIMC members will have access to an extensive group risk benefits package, comprising the following components:
