Zurich wins top life risk survey rating
Zurich Australia has been rated the top life risk provider in the Australian market by the WA Taylor Report for the third successive year.
In addition, Zurich was the only surveyed company in this year’s 16th annual report to be awarded a five-star rating for overall “satisfaction for life risk”, as adjudicated by more than 1,300 Australian life risk advisers.
It also took out the top rating in four separate survey report categories: Administration — Life Risk; Administration Services — General; Image and Reputation and Communications
Barry Tomkinson, Zurich’s head of investment management and life, described the rating as “acknowledgement by life risk advisers of Zurich’s continuing focus on delivering quality across the entire life risk value chain”.
“Not only do we offer good products, we support advisers with quality service from our business development, underwriting, customer service and claims teams.”
