Pru Life UK, which has been distributing its life insurance offerings through Robinsons Bank’s 155 branches in the country, first partnered with Robinsons Bank in January 2018.
The bank leverages its bancassurance venture IPONsurance to offer Pru Life UK’s life insurance products its customers.
The renewal of the partnership comes as the Philippines witnesses a demand for life insurance products amid the health concerns of the pandemic.
Pru Life UK president and CEO Antonio De Rosas said: “We are very pleased to jumpstart 2021 by renewing our bancassurance partnership with Robinsons Bank. For another three years, this alliance will benefit Robinson Bank’s customers by providing them with easy access to Pru Life UK’s solutions that meet their growing protection needs.”
