The insurance policy 'Swiss Visual Pro' will be provided free of charge to the first 300 clients who receive the Express Loan at the Societe Generale Albania Bank. This policy makes available for insured individuals an immediate fixed payment of 300,000 Lek in case of full house damages by earthquakes. For the first year this policy's premium will be covered 100% by the Bank for said clients. Starting from September 5th, 2017, 300 clients of Societe Generale Albania Bank can have their earthquake insurance free of charge for one year.
