From 1 May 2022 premiums will increase by 7.9%, effectively resulting in a 5.3% increase for 2022.Covid has certainly sped up the use of technology and Discovery has already started making use of their new initiative, Hospital at Home. With the use of the BioBeat device, up to 750 patients can be monitored and treated at hospital level in their own homes. Another new innovation, Discovery Pay, allows members to scan and pay for their treatment at the healthcare provider’s premises, resulting in immediate settlement of an account from funds in their Medical Savings Account. This will certainly take the administrative stress away from paying with your cash or credit card and claiming back from Discovery.Discovery Bank is proving to be the technology hub of future innovation and we can certainly see Discovery’s drive to encourage their clients to utilise their banking products. Some of their new offerings include the ability to open US Dollar, GB Pound or Euro accounts and transact with ease.
For those clients investing with Discovery Invest, they will now be able to access attractive loans against their investments. A new Discovery Bank feature that went live today is the Financial Analyser. This sophisticated technology dissects one’s monthly spend to allow clients to budget and manage their finances better. Time will tell if this works!
