Bancassurance across 18 markets gives AIA access to ~36m customers (2024) and stabilizes new business volumes.

Reinsurers (~US$300bn global market 2024) and providers reduce capital volatility and improve claims outcomes.

Tech, insurtech and providers deliver 99.9% cloud uptime, ~70% faster underwriting and cheaper distribution.
