DFCC Bank and AIA Insurance celebrate their long-term partnership

The AIA/DFCC Bancassurance Awards Ceremony was held recently at the Oak Room at Cinnamon Grand, Colombo. The event recognized the top performers from AIA Insurance’s and DFCC Bank’s Bancassurance business while celebrating the strong, long-standing partnership between these two giants in the banking and insurance spaces. Individuals driven by commitment and dedication to develop Bancassurance who excelled across 2019, 2020 and 2021, from AIA Bancassurance and DFCC Bank’s business channels, were honoured at the event.

Thimal Perera, CEO of DFCC Bank, and Chathuri Munaweera, CEO of AIA Insurance, were among the guests of note at the event, along with other members and senior management teams of the two organizations. AIA Insurance has been DFCC Bank’s exclusive partner for life-insurance-related products delivered through the Bank’s islandwide branch network since November 2016, and the two have entered an extended agreement for this purpose.

Discussing the Awards and the partnership, CEO at DFCC Bank, Thimal Perera said, “The long-term agreement between our two organizations was forged to create value for our customers, providing them with competitively priced insurance and banking solutions to meet diverse financial and protection needs. In this endeavour, we have witnessed some stunning performances from individuals within DFCC Bank and at AIA Insurance that deserve to be celebrated. It is this that has inspired the AIA DFCC Bancassurance Awards. I take this opportunity to congratulate the winners and hope that they will inspire others too. It’s also important to take this opportunity to recognize the exceptional working-relationship DFCC and AIA have built. This is a partnership of equals that makes us better together than alone.”

The main award categories included Annual CEO’s Club Awards, Central Sales Team Highest Volume Generated Team Leaders, MDRT Winners, Best Financial Planning Executive, Million Club Awards, Best New Entrant Branch, Most Productive Branch, Highest Long-Term Branch, Best Bancassurance Sales Manager, Best Regional Manager, Best Branch and Top Introducer Awards.
