    Cigna Sanctioned Bank Accounts - Russia and Ukraine Updates

    Helpful information

    At Cigna, we are closely monitoring developments in Russia and Ukraine and would like to reassure you that our continued priority is to protect the Whole Health of our customers.

    We understand that the situation is regularly changing so we recommend that you bookmark this page and check back regularly for updates on changes that might impact either the cover we can provide or your claims payments.

    If you currently use one of these banks for claims payments, you must provide us with alternative bank details from a bank that has not been sanctioned or we will be unable to pay your claims. You can do this via your online customer area or when submitting a claim.
