What is Metlife

Overview

In Singapore it operates through local entities and provides a range of policies including unit-linked and traditional plans.

Product types commonly include life insurance, health coverage, and investment-linked (unit-linked) plans.

Plan features, surrender terms and claim rules vary by product - always check your policy contract for details.

How to cancel Metlife

Primary cancellation routes

• Web portal (myMetLife): Login and submit a Policy Cancellation Request via "I want to…" → "Request Policy Change" → "Policy Cancellation Request".
• Phone or email: Contact MetLife customer service and request cancellation; they will effect cancellation through their system after verifying details.
• Do NOT use Apple App Store or Google Play to cancel: there is no cancellation route via app stores - cancellations must be done via MetLife's portal or direct contact.

Step-by-step: using myMetLife

• Log in to myMetLife with your credentials.
• Navigate to "I want to…" then "Request Policy Change".
• Select "Policy Cancellation Request" and complete the form; attach any required documents and submit.

What happens when you cancel

Policy access and cover

Once cancellation is processed, insurance cover ends as of the effective termination date specified by MetLife.

Check confirmation from MetLife for the exact time cover ceases to avoid gaps or unexpected exposures.

Renewal, records and data

Automatic renewals will stop after cancellation; any future reinstatement typically requires a new application and underwriting.

MetLife will retain records per their retention policy and applicable Singapore regulations; request copies if needed.

Will I get a refund?

Free-look period refunds

During the free-look period (typically 14 - 30 days from policy issue date, check your contract) you may cancel and receive a refund under conditions set by your policy.

Non-unit-linked plans generally qualify for a full refund of premiums paid if cancelled within the free-look and no claim has been made.

Unit-linked and post-free-look rules

• Unit-linked plans: premiums refunded without interest but may be reduced for market fluctuations during the unit liquidation process.
• After the free-look period: refunds are generally not available unless the policy has a surrender value; refunds are also withheld if a claim has been paid.

Your consumer rights in Singapore

Free-look and contract terms

You are usually entitled to a free-look period (check your policy for exact days) allowing cancellation and refund under specified terms.

Free-look period length and refund rules vary by plan type and contract wording.

Regulatory protections and recourse

• Keep your policy contract and any communications as evidence when disputing outcomes.
• If you have a complaint unresolved with the insurer, you may refer to Singapore financial guidance or dispute-resolution channels; see government resources for interpreting insurance documents.

Customer experiences

Negative feedback reported

Public reviews on platforms such as Trustpilot and community forums report issues like slow claims processing, app problems and unhelpful support interactions.

Some customers describe difficulties logging in, dropped calls, delays or denials of claims and repeated information requests.

Balanced perspective

Individual experiences vary by product, agent and case complexity; not every customer will encounter the same issues.

If you face problems, document all communications and escalate via MetLife's official channels or use formal complaint procedures.

Documentation checklist

Required identity and policy details

• Policy number and policyholder name
• Valid ID (NRIC/Passport) of the policyholder
• Contact details (phone and email) for confirmation

Supporting documents and signatures

• Completed cancellation request form or written instruction signed by the policyholder
• Bank account details for any refund (if applicable)
• Power of attorney if request made by an authorised representative

Common mistakes

Attempting incorrect cancellation routes

A common error is trying to cancel via the Apple App Store or Google Play; MetLife does not accept cancellations through those platforms.

Always cancel through the myMetLife portal or by contacting MetLife directly to ensure the request is processed.

Documentation and timing errors

Missing policy numbers, unsigned requests, or providing wrong bank details can delay processing and refunds.

Assuming a refund after the free-look without checking plan type (unit-linked vs non-unit-linked) is another frequent mistake.
