This esteemed platform recognises exceptional achievements in business and finance worldwide, celebrating individuals, companies and organisations that have made remarkable contributions to their industries.
The accolade highlights Union Assurance’s leadership in driving digital transformation and its unwavering commitment towards revolutionising the Life Insurance industry through technology and customer-centric initiatives.
Union Assurance has long been at the forefront of technological innovation in Sri Lanka's Life Insurance sector, setting new industry benchmarks with groundbreaking initiatives that deliver exceptional customer experiences.
The Company’s forward-thinking approach has played a pivotal role in bridging the protection gap across the nation, empowering individuals and communities alike.
A standout embodiment of Union Assurance’s innovative spirit is the Clicklife App, Sri Lanka’s most comprehensive Life Insurance app.
Powered by cutting-edge technology, the app transformed the user experience by enabling seamless management of Life Insurance policies via smart devices.
With advanced features designed to promote user well-being, the Clicklife App integrates several industry-first innovations, including an AI-driven calorie counter and a fully digital rewards system.
As the latest addition to the app, Union Assurance introduced its Digital Loyalty Rewards programme, which is also the first of its kind in the sector.
Through this programme, customers can earn millions in rewards by adopting active lifestyles, all while ensuring their financial well-being and that of their families.
Union Assurance has also set new benchmarks in the sector with its financial underwriting automation, which was not only the first of its kind in Sri Lanka, but in Asia as well.
By automating the financial questionnaire process, the Company has significantly enhanced the speed, accuracy and customer-centricity of underwriting.
In collaboration with Munich Re, this cutting-edge innovation evaluates financial backgrounds and risks, providing tailored coverage solutions that cater to the unique needs of each individual.
Further enhancing the customer experience, Union Assurance also introduced the e-MER (Electronic Medical Examination Report) and the digital medical records initiative–another first of its kind in the sector.
This innovation was a complete game-changer in the medical assessment process, reducing policy issuance frequency from several days to just 15 minutes, thereby significantly boosting efficiency and customer satisfaction.
