AIA Australia partners with HUB24



AIA Australia has announced another platform link-up, this time with HUB24.
The company announced this week that it had entered into a partnership with HUB24 which would see AIA's Priority Protection product included on the platform.
The partnership with HUB24 is the third platform linkup AIA Australia has established in the past two years.
AIA general manager of life insurance Damien Mu said building the company's platform partnerships was a priority for AIA Australia in its drive to support advisers by reducing their administrative load and giving them more client-facing time.
"Platforms are a rapidly growing business channel for advisers because of their functionality," he said.
"As a dedicated partnering specialist, it's important AIA Australia continues to innovate in this area and make it as easy as possible for our adviser partners to manage their clients' policies."
