Terms and conditions
Minors automatically benefit from the same Benevita discount level as the main contact person (usually a parent). This only applies if at least one parent is also insured with SWICA and uses the Benevita bonus programme.
Young people can continue taking advantage of the Benevita benefits via the main contact person for the whole of the calendar year in which they turn 18. From 1 January after their 18th birthday, young adults can no longer benefit from their parent's discount level.
To continue enjoying the benefits of the bonus programme, a young adult must register via the Benevita app in advance. Registration must be completed by the end of August in the calendar year in which they turn 18. Those to whom this applies will receive a letter from SWICA informing them about this in good time.Young adults who have successfully registered for the Benevita bonus programme will receive discount level 2 as an introductory discount in their first year as standard. In order to maintain (or increase) this discount level in subsequent years, they will have to regularly complete challenges to earn sufficient points.
Earned points can be redeemed for discounts on premiums or for digital vouchers. Earned community coins can be used to make donations.
Customers who have basic insurance with SWICA can use the app but cannot take advantage of the Benevita benefits offered (discount on Completa Top/Completa Forte and/or Hospita supplementary insurance premiums or digital vouchers).
You can use Benevita regardless of whether you're participating in the bonus programme, and it is open to anyone who is interested (including individuals who are not SWICA customers). SWICA reserves the right to show certain content only to SWICA customers who also participate in the bonus programme.
No SWICA account is required to use Benevita without the bonus programme.
