Almost about two years ago, Aegon Life Insurance took its boldest move by shifting its insurance platform completely online. This meant that the company will cease middlemen operations and the role of insurance agents to sell its products. Though the sales took a hit, the company has stuck by its business model and will soon reap the benefits of its bold decision. According to the insurer, following their digital drift, the company, in FY 2017 took a 33% hit with regard to their sales as compared to FY 2016. But despite the drop in sale of their products, the company’s CEO Vineet Arora, said that volumes may not be very high in the online business, because our focus is on protection business. He added by saying, Aegon Life were the first company to launch online protection (term insurance) and continue to be strong in the protection space. We are the eighth largest in the protection base and this shows that our strategies are proving right. However, the number of customers choosing to renew their policy online grew by 80% in FY 18 as compared to a growth of 65% in FY 2017. Arora concluded by saying that online business tends to have a higher rate of persistency. This is primarily because customers themselves come to the platform and buy the policy; it is not a push product.
