Cancel Berjaya Sompo: The Right Way
How to cancel Berjaya Sompo car insurance and reclaim your money
Why cancelling Berjaya Sompo matters and what you need to know first
Cancelling your Berjaya Sompo car insurance policy doesn't have to feel like navigating a maze. Many Malaysian drivers feel anxious about cancellation because they worry about losing money, missing refunds, or accidentally keeping charges running. The good news: you have clear rights, a straightforward process, and Stopee is here to walk you through every step.
Berjaya Sompo Insurance Berhad is a regulated general insurer operating across Malaysia with a focus on motor coverage and home insurance products. Unlike app subscriptions that vanish with a click, your car insurance is a formal legal contract backed by the Consumer Protection Act 1999. This means cancellation requires written notice, but it also means you have strong legal protections if something goes wrong.
What Berjaya Sompo car insurance actually covers
You pay Berjaya Sompo for annual motor coverage, not monthly recurring billing. Your policy typically runs for 12 months and includes third-party liability protection, optional loss or damage coverage for your own vehicle, and any add-ons you selected. The MotorSafe Plan offers discounts up to 50% for low-mileage drivers, which is why many customers choose it.
The pricing structure shows annual commitments, not short-term flexibility. When you cancel early, Berjaya Sompo calculates your refund using short-period rates, which means the refund you receive is often smaller than you'd expect. This is a critical detail that Stopee emphasises because many cancellations go wrong here.
Where Berjaya Sompo sits in malaysia's insurance market
Berjaya Sompo operates from Level 36, Menara Bangkok Bank, 105 Jalan Ampang, 50450 Kuala Lumpur. This isn't a lightweight digital service; it's a full-scale regulated insurer with formal office hours (Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, excluding public holidays) and multiple contact channels. Your policy documentation and cancellation notice must reflect this formality.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law
Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 protects you when you cancel Berjaya Sompo, even though insurance is regulated separately. You have the right to cancel any contract within 10 days of purchase if you're an individual consumer, and you have the right to a refund of premiums paid if no claim has been made during your policy period.
What the consumer protection act 1999 gives you
The Act requires Berjaya Sompo to honour your cancellation request in writing within a reasonable timeframe. If you cancel before the policy has been active for a significant period and no claim has been made, you are entitled to a refund calculated according to the policy wording. Stopee recommends you keep a copy of your original policy documents because they spell out the exact refund calculation method.
If Berjaya Sompo delays your refund beyond 30 days, refuses to process your cancellation, or charges you unexpectedly after you've cancelled, you can escalate to Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) or the Malaysian Insolvency Department. These authorities take non-compliance seriously, and a formal complaint can force the insurer to act.
The 10-day cooling-off period
If you purchased your Berjaya Sompo policy within the last 10 days and haven't made a claim, you're in the strongest position to cancel. During this cooling-off window, you can cancel without penalty, and Berjaya Sompo must refund your full premium. After this period expires, refunds depend on the short-period basis outlined in your policy wording, which typically reduces what you get back.
How to cancel your Berjaya Sompo policy step by step
Cancelling Berjaya Sompo requires a formal written notice sent to their registered office address. There is no online cancel button, no app, and no phone-only process. You must follow the procedure outlined in your policy wording to ensure your cancellation is processed correctly.
Step-by-step cancellation procedure
- Locate your Certificate of Insurance or prepare a Statutory Declaration
- Find your original Certificate of Insurance sent to you when your policy started
- If the certificate is lost or destroyed, you must obtain a certified Statutory Declaration confirming its loss from a lawyer or commissioner of oaths
- Keep the original or certified copy ready to send
- Gather all required documentation before writing your cancellation letter
- Your full name as it appears on the policy
- Your NRIC or passport number
- Your policy number (printed on your Certificate of Insurance or policy documents)
- Your vehicle registration number if this is a motor policy
- Your contact phone number and email address
- The effective date you want the cancellation to take effect
- Write a formal cancellation letter to Berjaya Sompo
- Address it to the Customer Service Department at their registered office
- State clearly: "I request to cancel my insurance policy effective [date]"
- Include all documentation details listed above
- Explain your reason for cancellation (optional but helpful)
- Request written confirmation of cancellation and details of your refund calculation
- Attach your Certificate of Insurance or Statutory Declaration to the letter
- Make photocopies of all documents before sending
- Keep these copies for your records
- Do not send original documents by standard mail; use registered post or courier
- Send your cancellation notice via registered post or courier to Berjaya Sompo's address
- Level 36, Menara Bangkok Bank, 105 Jalan Ampang, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
- Obtain a tracking number and delivery proof
- Send via registered post (Pos Malaysia) or private courier (DHL, FedEx, J&T)
- This proof is your receipt if Berjaya Sompo later claims they never received your notice
- Follow up if you don't receive confirmation within 14 days
- Contact Berjaya Sompo at 1-800-88-9933 (local Malaysia) or +603-2170-7300 (overseas)
- Reference your registered post tracking number
- Ask for written confirmation of receipt and processing status
- Email [email protected] with the same request and your tracking number
Alternative contact methods if written notice fails
Pro tip: If your registered post sits unacknowledged, escalate immediately. Call Berjaya Sompo's customer service line and ask to speak with the cancellation team. Provide your policy number, tracking reference, and the date you sent your notice. Ask them to confirm receipt in writing via email. If they refuse or claim they have no record, email [email protected] directly with your tracking number and a formal cancellation request.
Stopee also recommends sending a parallel email to the main customer service address on the same day you post your letter. This creates a second record and often speeds up processing because email requests are tracked in their system.
Understanding your refund from Berjaya Sompo
Your refund depends entirely on when you cancel and what your policy wording says about short-period calculations. This is where many cancellations disappoint customers, so understanding the maths now saves you frustration later.
How Berjaya Sompo calculates refunds
Berjaya Sompo uses a short-period rate table to calculate your refund. This means your refund is not based on unused days alone. Instead, the insurer applies a percentage to your annual premium based on how long your policy has been active. The longer your policy runs before cancellation, the lower your refund percentage becomes.
For example, if you cancel after 3 months of a 12-month policy, you don't get back 75% of your premium. Instead, Berjaya Sompo applies their short-period rate (often around 50-60% refund), so you receive significantly less. This is standard practice across Malaysia's insurance industry, but it's rarely explained clearly when you purchase.
| Policy duration active | Typical refund percentage | Your status |
|---|---|---|
| 0-10 days (cooling-off period) | 100% (if no claim made) | Strongest position |
| 11 days to 1 month | 80-90% | Good refund likely |
| 1-3 months | 50-70% | Fair refund expected |
| 3-6 months | 30-50% | Reduced refund |
| 6-12 months | 10-30% | Minimal refund likely |
| 12 months or claim made | 0% | No refund |
When Berjaya Sompo will not refund you
If you have made any claim during your policy period, even a small one, Berjaya Sompo will not refund any premium. A claim includes damage reports, accident notifications, or any request for the insurer to pay out. This is why timing matters so much: cancel before you need the insurance, not after.
Stopee emphasises this point because many drivers wait until they've decided they don't need coverage, but if something happens in between, your refund disappears. Your best move is to decide early and cancel promptly.
What happens after you cancel Berjaya Sompo
Cancellation doesn't end immediately just because you've sent your letter. There's a processing period, a refund timeline, and several things you need to monitor to make sure everything goes smoothly.
Processing timeline and what to expect
Berjaya Sompo typically processes cancellations within 14-21 days of receiving your written notice. Once they confirm your cancellation in writing, your policy coverage ends on the date you specified in your letter. Your refund (if eligible) should arrive within 30 days of confirmation, usually by bank transfer to your original payment method.
In practice, some refunds take longer, especially if Berjaya Sompo needs time to verify that no claims are pending. If your refund doesn't arrive within 30 days of written confirmation, contact them again with your cancellation confirmation letter and ask for a specific refund date.
Switching to a new insurer after cancellation
Once your Berjaya Sompo policy is cancelled and the coverage end date has passed, you must arrange new insurance immediately if you plan to drive. Malaysia's Road Transport Act requires all vehicles to carry third-party insurance. Driving without valid coverage exposes you to fines up to RM10,000 and potential imprisonment.
Don't wait for your Berjaya Sompo refund to arrive before purchasing new insurance. Buy your new policy before your old one expires so there's no gap in coverage. Stopee recommends starting your new insurance the day after your Berjaya Sompo policy ends.
Common mistakes people make when cancelling Berjaya Sompo
Cancelling insurance feels stressful, and that stress often leads to shortcuts that cost you money or delay your refund. Here are the mistakes Stopee sees most often, and how to avoid them.
Mistake 1: sending cancellation by regular post without tracking
Your cancellation letter is an official legal document. If you send it by standard post and it gets lost, Berjaya Sompo can claim they never received it. Your cancellation never takes effect, your policy keeps running, and charges continue. Always use registered post or a courier with tracking. The RM20-30 extra cost is insurance against this exact problem.
Mistake 2: not keeping copies of everything
Before you send any document to Berjaya Sompo, photocopy it. Keep your cancellation letter, Certificate of Insurance copies, registered post receipt, and all correspondence. If a refund dispute arises, these documents prove you cancelled and when. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers win refund disputes simply because they had paper evidence.
Mistake 3: cancelling without reading your policy wording first
Your policy document contains the exact refund calculation method and any conditions for cancellation. If you cancel without reading it, you might be surprised by your refund amount or discover you've missed a deadline. Spend 10 minutes reading the cancellation section before you send your letter.
Mistake 4: expecting a refund if you've made a claim
The moment you file any claim with Berjaya Sompo, your right to a refund ends. Some customers think they can claim, then cancel and get their money back. This never works. Berjaya Sompo has already used part of your premium to cover claims administration costs.
Mistake 5: not following up if you don't hear back within 14 days
Silence from Berjaya Sompo doesn't mean your cancellation is being processed. It might mean your letter was misplaced or never reached the right department. Call them at 1-800-88-9933 after 14 days and ask for written confirmation of your cancellation status. If they have no record, resend your notice via email to [email protected].

Use this checklist before you send your cancellation notice. It takes 5 minutes and prevents 90% of cancellation problems.
| Task | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Find your policy number and Certificate of Insurance | ☐ | Check your original welcome email or documents |

| Confirm no claims have been made on your policy | ☐ | If any claim exists, no refund will be issued |
| Photocopy your Certificate of Insurance or arrange Statutory Declaration | ☐ | This is required; don't skip it |
| Write your formal cancellation letter with all required details | ☐ | Include policy number, NRIC, vehicle number, effective date |
| Arrange registered post or courier | ☐ | Never use standard post; get tracking |
What happens if Berjaya Sompo refuses to cancel or delays your refund
A small number of Berjaya Sompo customers face delays or outright refusals to process cancellations. If this happens to you, you have escalation options backed by Malaysian law.
Escalation steps if Berjaya Sompo won't cooperate
First, send a formal email to [email protected] with the subject line "Formal Cancellation Request and Refund Escalation." Include your policy number, the date you sent your original cancellation letter, your registered post tracking number, and a clear statement: "I formally request cancellation of my policy and a full refund calculation within 7 days." Give them one week to respond.
If Berjaya Sompo doesn't respond within 7 days or refuses your request, file a complaint with Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) at bnm.gov.my/complaints. BNM oversees all insurance activities in Malaysia and has the authority to force Berjaya Sompo to process your cancellation and refund. Include copies of your cancellation letter, registered post proof, and all correspondence with the insurer.
You can also contact the Malaysian Insurance Institute or the Insurance Brokers Association if you believe Berjaya Sompo has acted unfairly. These bodies investigate complaints and can recommend action against non-compliant insurers.
Comparing Berjaya Sompo with other malaysian car insurers
If you're thinking about cancelling because you want better coverage or lower rates elsewhere, this comparison helps you decide whether to switch or stay.
| Insurer | Cancellation method | Refund eligibility | Processing time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Berjaya Sompo | Written notice (registered post) | Short-period basis, no claims | 14-21 days |
| AXA | Online portal or written notice | Short-period basis, no claims | 7-14 days |
| Allianz | Call centre or written notice | Short-period basis, no claims | 10-21 days |
| Pacific & Orient | Written notice or email | Short-period basis, no claims | 14-28 days |
| Zurich | Online portal or written notice | Short-period basis, no claims | 7-14 days |
| Tokio Marine | Call centre or written notice | Short-period basis, no claims | 14-21 days |
Berjaya Sompo's cancellation process is more formal than some competitors because it requires registered post. If you prefer a faster, more digital cancellation, you might find AXA or Zurich easier. However, all Malaysian insurers use similar short-period refund calculations, so switching won't automatically improve your refund amount if you cancel mid-policy.
