PayAngel RemitCare—offered in partnership with Sanlam Allianz—gives eligible Ghana remittance senders free embedded life and hospitalisation insurance under the Free Bronze Package. PayAngel absorbs the £0/$0 premium upon qualifying monthly Ghana transfers, delivering a 5,000 GHS death benefit plus 150 GHS per day in hospitalisation support for up to 7 days (1,050 GHS max) with monthly continuity.
What Is PayAngel RemitCare and Why Embedded Diaspora Cover Matters
Most diaspora senders send money home not only for groceries or school fees, but as an informal emergency reserve whenever a parent falls ill or a household faces an unexpected crisis. In practice, sudden inpatient hospital bills in Accra, Kumasi, or Tamale quickly wipe out months of savings—or force relatives to take high-cost informal loans while waiting for overseas transfers.
RemitCare addresses that gap directly inside the remittance journey. Built by PayAngel in partnership with pan-African insurer Sanlam Allianz, RemitCare embeds regulated life and hospitalisation protection directly onto qualifying transfers on the Ghana (GHS) corridor. Under the Free Bronze Package, neither the sender nor the Ghanaian beneficiary pays an insurance premium: PayAngel absorbs 100% of the £0/$0/€0 policy cost alongside its zero-fee transfer model.
By tying insurance continuity to regular family remittances, PayAngel transforms everyday cross-border support into formal financial resilience backed by one of Africa's largest insurance groups.
PayAngel absorbs the full premium for the RemitCare Free Bronze Package when you activate cover in-app and maintain a qualifying monthly transfer to Ghana. You do not see any surprise insurance surcharge deducted from your GHS payout.
Free Bronze Package Breakdown: Exact GHS Cover Amounts & Terms
Unlike promotional vouchers or discount coupons that merely trim pharmacy markups, RemitCare Bronze provides defined cash benefits denominated in Ghanaian Cedis (GHS) underwritten with Sanlam Allianz. Having fixed cash payouts helps families immediately cover admission deposits, diagnostic tests, prescriptions, transport, or bereavement arrangements without waiting months for complex expense itemisation.
For diaspora families also managing planned medical treatments or maternity care in Ghana, RemitCare pairs naturally with Direct-to-Merchant Remittances (D2MR), which lets senders pay verified Ghanaian clinics and hospitals directly at zero transfer fees with official PDF payment receipts.

Qualifying Transaction Eligibility & Sender/Recipient Protection
RemitCare Free Bronze is unlocked specifically for verified customers sending qualifying transfers to Ghana from PayAngel's licensed diaspora territories: the United Kingdom (FCA FRN 608108), United States (FinCEN MSB 31000270131678), Canada (FINTRAC M14298760), Australia (AUSTRAC IND100902318-001), and the Eurozone / EU (Belmoney S.A. under National Bank of Belgium PSD2 supervision).
Because insurance underwriting relies on clean identity data, both the sender's one-time PayAngel KYC verification and the nominated insured beneficiary details in Ghana must be accurate and active. Always check the live RemitCare screen inside the PayAngel app for the current minimum qualifying monthly Ghana transfer threshold and which family member roles (sender, nominated Ghana recipient, or specified dependent) are covered under your specific policy schedule.
Monthly auto-renewal means your cover automatically extends into the next monthly cycle whenever you send at least one qualifying Ghana transfer during the active cycle—whether that transfer settles to MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash, AirtelTigo Money, a Ghanaian bank account, or a D2MR partner merchant.
- Complete one-time PayAngel KYC/AML identity verification before opting in so your policy record links to verified legal identification.
- Confirm the exact minimum qualifying transfer threshold displayed inside the RemitCare section of your PayAngel app before sending.
- Ensure your nominated Ghanaian beneficiary's full legal name, date of birth (where requested), and contact phone number match their Ghana Card or official ID.
- Maintain at least one qualifying Ghana transfer every monthly cycle so auto-renewal preserves uninterrupted protection without lapse.
How to Activate RemitCare Free Bronze Inside the PayAngel App
Activating RemitCare takes less than two minutes during your normal Ghana transfer workflow and never requires filling out paper underwriting forms or visiting an insurance broker branch.
- Open the PayAngel app (with 2FA enabled) and confirm your one-time identity verification is approved.
- Initiate a transfer to Ghana (GHS) from the UK, US, Canada, Australia, or the Eurozone meeting the qualifying transfer criteria shown in-app.
- When prompted by the RemitCare banner or toggle—or inside the RemitCare menu tab—review the Free Bronze Package summary and opt in at £0/$0 premium.
- Verify or nominate the covered individual and beneficiary details accurately, ensuring names match government-issued ID such as a Ghana Card or passport.
- Complete your Ghana remittance and inspect your active digital policy status and schedule inside the RemitCare section of the app.
- Send a qualifying Ghana transfer each subsequent month prior to your cycle cut-off date to keep monthly auto-renewal active effortlessly.
A life or hospitalisation policy only protects your loved ones if they know it exists. Once your RemitCare Bronze certificate is active in the PayAngel app, screenshot or note your policy reference and PayAngel support contact details for your trusted Ghana beneficiary.
RemitCare Claims Workflow: What to Submit & How Payouts Work
In the event of a qualifying hospitalisation or bereavement claim, speed and clean documentation make all the difference. Both the diaspora policyholder (or their representative) and the nominated Ghanaian beneficiary can initiate assistance through PayAngel's 24/7 support channels—via the in-app RemitCare claims instructions, support@payangel.com, phone, or WhatsApp—so Sanlam Allianz can assess and disburse approved GHS benefits promptly.
Preparing the right civil and medical paperwork upfront avoids back-and-forth delays during an already stressful moment. Use the checklist below to keep both activation and potential claims documentation organised.
| Stage | Key Action Required | Typical Documents / Details Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Activation | Opt into Free Bronze & verify insured/beneficiary identities | Verified PayAngel KYC profile + exact legal name & phone of Ghana beneficiary |
| Monthly Auto-Renewal | Complete at least 1 qualifying Ghana transfer per cycle | Confirmed Ghana transfer receipt meeting in-app qualifying minimum |
| Hospitalisation Claim (150 GHS/day, max 7 days) | Report inpatient stay promptly via PayAngel / Sanlam Allianz claim flow | Recognised hospital admission & discharge summary, dates of stay, claimant ID & payout details |
| Death / Life Claim (5,000 GHS) | Notify PayAngel support / Sanlam Allianz claims desk with beneficiary proof | Official death certificate / medical cause of death, claimant Ghana Card/ID & policy reference |
Important Policy Conditions & Exclusions to Check Before Claiming
Every regulated insurance policy carries clear boundaries designed to keep premiums sustainable—especially on a £0/$0 embedded product. Reading your in-app Sanlam Allianz certificate right after activation prevents unpleasant surprises during a medical emergency.
Always check your specific policy schedule inside the PayAngel app for the exact wording governing these standard microinsurance conditions:
- Waiting periods: New enrollments often carry a defined initial waiting period for illness-related claims (while accidental causes may be treated differently under the schedule)—check exact effective dates on your certificate.
- Pre-existing conditions: Verify how chronic or previously diagnosed medical conditions prior to policy inception are treated under Sanlam Allianz terms.
- Inpatient admission criteria: Hospitalisation support (150 GHS/day up to 7 days = 1,050 GHS) applies to qualifying inpatient hospital admissions rather than routine outpatient consultations or unaccredited clinics—verify minimum stay length rules.
- Age eligibility limits: Standard life and hospital microinsurance plans stipulate minimum and maximum entry/coverage ages for insured individuals.
- Policy lapse on missed months: If a monthly cycle passes without a qualifying Ghana transfer, automatic renewal pauses until re-qualified—check whether a fresh waiting period applies upon reactivation.
- Standard statutory exclusions: Claims arising from self-inflicted injury, unlawful acts, substance abuse, or excluded hazardous perils are typically outside policy cover.
Exact waiting periods, age brackets, covered party definitions, and qualifying transfer minimums are governed by the live Sanlam Allianz policy schedule inside your PayAngel app. If any clause is unclear, ask PayAngel's 24/7 support team at support@payangel.com before relying on cover.
