We are proud to be one such entity that has repeatedly set benchmarks and set trends for the rest of the industry to follow. Some of our innovative products have reached the grassroots level and their benefits have been reaped by people who would have never thought of getting insurance if it were not offered through convenient channels such as mobile operators and the postal service.”

It is therefore a credible barometer of public perception, which is essential to business success.
