Money Insurance

Gbogbo ọrọ náà

Every trader who banks a day's takings, every school that pays its staff in cash, and every filling station that empties its tills at night faces the same quiet danger: the moment cash leaves the drawer it can be snatched, and once it is gone it is gone. Money insurance is the cover built for exactly that danger. It protects cash and cash-like documents against robbery, theft and loss, whether the money is moving to the bank, sitting on the counter, or locked in the safe overnight.

In this lesson you will learn what the policy actually treats as ‘money’ (it is far wider than notes and coins), the separate sections of cover that follow the cash from place to place, the limits and conditions that decide how much the insurer really pays, and who in the Nigerian market cannot trade safely without this policy. You will settle the calculations examiners set on carrying limits and safe limits, and learn the one distinction, money insurance against fidelity guarantee, that catches candidates every year.

A cashier at a supermarket in Ibadan is sent to the bank with the weekend takings in a bag. Two streets away a motorcyclist blocks her, seizes the bag and vanishes into traffic. The shop has lost the cash, but the wages still have to be paid and the suppliers still have to be settled. This is the risk that no burglary or fire policy quite reaches, because the money was neither in the building nor destroyed: it was in transit. Money insurance is the general-accident policy designed to follow cash wherever it goes and to pay when it is lost by robbery, theft or other accident. To use it well you must know what the policy counts as money, where it is covered, and the limits that cap the cheque.
