AIA Indonesia: More trusted during crisis
AIA Indonesia: More trusted during crisis
No one expected the monetary crisis to have a positive impact
on Indonesia's insurance sector. However, whether they realize it
or not, the crisis has made people aware of their needs for life
protection and protection from financial risk due to illness and
physical incapacity, due to an increase in medical expenses.
This situation has given Asuransi AIA Indonesia an abundance
of policyholders. AIA Indonesia now has twice as many
policyholders than any other insurance company here.
PT Asuransi AIA Indonesia's Manager of Group Management
Division Yohanes Pintoko said, "Many people have shopped around
and put their trust in our company. It is very obvious, the
economic crisis has had no impact on our business."
As a consequence, AIA Indonesia continues to improve on itself
by enhancing its capacity and services capability for
policyholders by means of recruiting qualified human resources
and increasing the number of its representative offices.
Positive
Of course, these strategies are taken to strengthen the
company's positive points, which are the
trademark/characteristics of Asuransi AIA Indonesia, such as its
ability to provide regional and international services, careful
risks judgment and payment and solid financial business.
With its main business an insurance product giving life and
health protection, other products include accident, pension funds
and credit life.
AIA Indonesia, the first foreign join-venture life insurance
company in Indonesia, continues its good performance, besides
maintaining its position as one of the biggest life insurers in
Indonesia.
Of course, this achievement is greatly supported by its
hardworking staff through a network of sales offices in major
cities across the country, and over 1,000 professional agents
serving its growing clientele nationwide.
It is quite natural that AIA Indonesia shows a readiness to
compete in the globalization era because it has, through its
headquarters American International Group (AIG), a foothold in
130 countries.
"We are a global company," said Yohanes. This also explains
how solid the financial performance is by AIA Indonesia.
Success
So, what is AIA Indonesia's key to success? "Trust us for
life, that's the key. It is also supported by principal prudent
underwriting, which is AIA Indonesia guidance to preparing a
package and to marketing insurance products in Indonesia. AIA
Indonesia also realizes the importance of building a predictable,
sustainable and qualified insurance business."
In developing Indonesia's insurance business for the future,
AIA Indonesia is of the opinion that the government needs to pay
serious attention to making insurance a priority to collect
domestic/national funds and to educate the people to think of the
future by postponing their unnecessary consumeristic
attitude/needs because that is what is done by developed
countries to build their insurance industry.
