Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Insurance and Pensions Commission (IPEC) has warned teachers against joining a pensions and funeral policy agency targeting teachers.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the country\u2019s pensions commission said the Zimbabwe Teachers Investment Trust (ZITIT) is not registered as an insurance company.<\/p>\n

The warning comes after ZITIT announced that it had launched a funeral assurance plan for teachers. IPEC said:<\/p>\n

Whilst IPEC is investigating the matter, teachers are warned against buying the said (funeral) policies as the entity in question is not registered as an insurance company.<\/p>\n

Section 7(1) of the insurance Act prohibits unregistered entities from carrying out insurance business.<\/p>\n

To this end, the commission again reminds consumers who want to buy insurance policies to only deal with registered entities.<\/p>\n

Consumers can check beforehand with the IPEC entities that are authorized to render insurance services\u2026<\/p>\n

IPEC is a statutory board established in terms of the Insurance and Pensions Commission Act [Chapter 24:21] to regulate the insurance and pensions industry in the country.<\/p>\n
