“Our continued collaboration with Manulife Indonesia is part of Bank DBS Indonesia’s commitment to being the partner that provides comprehensive and flexible financial services. This product complements our bancassurance lineup that answers the needs of Bank DBS Indonesia customers in preparing for their financial future,” said Paulus Sutisna, President Director of PT Bank DBS Indonesia.
“Through our 2022 Manulife Asia Care Survey, we’ve seen that 76% of Indonesian respondents plan to buy insurance for the next 12 months and life insurance is one of their top priorities. This is why, together with Bank DBS, we further strengthen our commitment to grow our life insurance product offerings with a goal of delivering decisions made easier and lives made better for our customers,” said Ryan Charland, President Director & CEO, Manulife Indonesia.
Data from the 2022 Manulife Asia Care Survey shows that Indonesia has the lowest level of insured individuals when compared with other markets across Asia. This is further supported by the fact that OJK data notes Indonesia has a low insurance penetration rate at 3.11%.[1][1] This furthers the need to offer more products and service options to provide wider options that deliver protection and empower better physical and financial well-being for people throughout Indonesia.
Manulife Indonesia and Bank DBS Indonesia designed the MiTreasure Whole Life Legacy (MiWILL) as whole life insurance that offers flexibility and the advantage of giving policyholders the choice of adjusting coverage to align with where they are in life and letting policyholders take control. MiWILL is also equipped with whole-life benefits that provide coverage up to 99 years old for the insured, ensuring comprehensive protection against various risks in the future.
With its wealth of benefits, this product meets the policyholder’s needs today to anticipate life risks and help prepare a legacy for themselves and their loved ones. It also complements the range of solutions through the Bank DBS and Manulife strategic partnership. For more information on this product, please visit the Bank DBS branches.
