PT Pos, Wanaartha tie up

JAKARTA (JP): Policy holders of insurance company PT Asuransi
Wanaartha can now pay their insurance premium at state-owned
postal service company PT Pos Indonesia, which has 5,000 offices
across Indonesia, under a cooperation agreement recently signed
by the two companies.

PT Pos' president Alinafiah said that besides the vast network
of post offices, Wanaartha's policy-holders could also pay their
premiums at the company's 28,000 car postal services.

He said that the company would also buy a stake in Wanaartha
to strengthen the insurance company's capital structure.

"By working with PT Pos our customers in remote villages will
not have to be bothered with traveling to the city, they will
only have to go to the nearest post office," Wanaartha's
director, Doddy Sylviadi, said. (tnt)
