Insurance Asia Awards presents the winners in its first ever digital awards presentation
A total of 75 insurers were awarded in this year’s programme.
Over seventy exceptional insurance companies from 22 countries were recognised at the fifth Insurance Asia Awards held digitally from the first to third week of August.
For the first time, the awards were handed via visual presentation to the winners due to the pandemic. Winning companies were also interviewed throughout the whole month of August to share their thoughts on winning in the most prestigious awards programme in Asia’s insurance industry.
This year’s nominations were judged by a panel consisting of Richard Holloway, Managing Director for Southeast Asia & India Life at Milliman; Frank Dubois, Head of Insurance at KPMG Singapore; Steven Goh, Head of Insurance Audit at KPMG Singapore; Woo Shea Leen, Insurance Leader at PwC Singapore; and Liza Drew, FSO Indirect Tax Leader - Asia Pacific at Ernst & Young.
"Insurers have the responsibility to provide consumers with products that will fit the diverse needs of the market, especially during the pandemic. The Insurance Asia Awards recognizes the conscious efforts of these companies to put out solutions and deliver exceptional value to its stakeholders," said Tim Charlton, publisher of Insurance Asia magazine.
Below is a list of all the winning companies. Congratulations!
