So, Your Great Eastern Insurance Premium is Due. Now What? A Hilariously Helpful Guide (Singapore Edition)
Ah, the annual Great Eastern insurance dance. We've all been there, that awkward tango with impending deadlines and slightly confusing online forms. Fear not, intrepid Singaporean, for this guide will navigate you through the digital jungle with more laughs than a durian-eating contest (and significantly less odor).
Step 1: Embrace the Algorithm, Your New Overlord
First, fire up your trusty computer, smartphone, or carrier pigeon equipped with a mini keyboard (hey, some of us prefer the classics). Log in to your eConnect portal, that mystical land where your policy details dance alongside cryptic buttons. Don't panic if it looks like hieroglyphics designed by an overcaffeinated owl – we'll decipher it together.
Tip: Skim once, study twice.![]()
Step 2: The Quest for the "Make Payment" Button – A Choose-Your-Own-Adventure
(a) The Path of the Credit Card Warrior: For the impulsive souls among us, there's the "My Service Requests" option. Venture forth, brave adventurer, and click on "e-Payment Services." A glistening "Make a Payment" button awaits, begging to be heroically swiped with your plastic steed. Remember, great power comes great responsibility – choose wisely (and maybe check your credit card balance first).
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.![]()
(b) The App Apparition: Feeling app-tastic? Download the Great Eastern app, a digital oasis amidst the eConnect desert. Tap "Services," then "Payment," and finally, the magical "Make Payment" portal. It's like ordering pizza, but instead of greasy goodness, you get financial security (probably not as delicious, but definitely more responsible).
(c) The PayNow Pilgrimage: Feeling adventurous? Embark on the PayNow pilgrimage! Choose "My Service Requests" on eConnect, then "e-Payment Services." Select "PayNow QR" and boom, a mystical code appears, ready to be scanned by your mobile banking app. Just like that, you've become a digital shaman, channeling funds with the power of your smartphone.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.![]()
Step 3: Victory – But Wait, There's More!
Congratulations, you've conquered the online payment beast! Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the smug satisfaction of a task well-done. But wait, there's more!

Set up GIRO: This magical incantation automatically deducts your premium, saving you the annual eConnect tango. Just remember to keep your bank account happy, or you might face a financial dragon with a very bad temper.

Paperless Please: Go green and opt for paperless statements. Not only will you save trees, but you'll also avoid that moment of panic when you can't find the "payment due" notice buried under a mountain of laundry.
Remember, dear reader, paying your Great Eastern insurance online is not a chore, it's an adventure! Embrace the absurdity, channel your inner tech wizard, and most importantly, never underestimate the power of a good laugh. Now go forth and conquer, brave Singaporean! (And maybe send pizza my way if you choose the PayNow option, I'm feeling peckish.)
