Money Insurance
Overview
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.
Objectives
- Explain what constitutes money for the purpose of a money insurance policy
- Describe the types of cover available, including money in transit and money in a safe
- Explain the limits and conditions commonly applied to money insurance
