Finansial Wiramitra Danadyaksa, the local insurance arm of Hong Kong-based investment company Pacific Century Group, targets one million clients in its new single premium life insurance by the end of next year, after sealing an insurance distribution deal with Bank KEB Hana Indonesia, the local subsidiary of the South Korean bank on Thursday (01/09).
Under the agreement, the insurance firm, which uses FWD Life Indonesia trade name, would sell its single-premium life insurance product — dubbed as FWD Infinite Link — through more than 30 Bank KEB Hana's branches in Indonesia. In return FWD Life Indonesia will offer its clients with mortgage product from the lender.
"We are very excited to be partnered with Bank KEB Hana Indonesia which share the same value with us, as we both put first the customers needs and satisfaction," Rudi Kamdani, the president director of FWD Life Indonesia, said in a statement.
The new product requires a minimum Rp 100 million ($7,550) as a one-time premium payment for covering death or accidental injury risks up to 100-years-old.
It also offers flexibility to change the insurance policy's investment instrument that includes stocks from all over the world and fixed income instruments in Asia, excluding Japan.

For, Bank KEB Hana the cooperation marked its effort to boost fees from bancassurance — or selling insurance policies to bank clients business — said Hana Gempur Eskandaru Widansyah, the lender's funding and wealth management business division head.
