Padang, 14 March 2023 – PT Chubb Life Insurance Indonesia (Chubb Life Indonesia) held an opening ceremony for their new sales office in Padang, West Sumatra. With the addition of Padang, Chubb Life Indonesia will have a presence in 15 districts in Indonesia.
For more than 20 years, Padang’s economy has been growing faster than the national average and recent research based on the Klassen Typology analysis[1] further supports this trend. Many promising sectors are attracted to this city’s potential.
“With the opening of this new sales office, Chubb Life Indonesia will be able to provide life and health protection solutions to people in Padang”, said Reguel Pakpahan, Chief Sales Officer & Head of Agency Region 1, Chubb Life Indonesia.
“This is a great opportunity to offer Chubb Life Indonesia’s comprehensive product and services to people in Padang. The addition of our sales office complements our multiple distribution channels already available. Customers in Padang can now talk to our agents and find the right life insurance product and services that caters to their varying needs.” added Kumaran Chinan, President, Chubb Life Indonesia.
To align with Padang’s government focus in providing support to the diffable community, Chubb Life Indonesia donated IDR 36million to Parents Association of Children with Down Syndrome (Persatuan Orang Tua Anak Dengan Down Syndrome - POTADS) Foundation at the Padang sales office opening ceremony. The donation will be used for funding empowering initiatives for children with Down Syndrome and their parents, such as training for use of computer equipments, entrepreneurship program, new born package and Down Syndrome handbook to support the parents.
On top of the donation, a financial literacy workshop was also held on the day of the office opening ceremony. Indonesia has a low financial literacy index (38.03%) and Indonesia Financial Services Authority (OJK) has a vision to bring the financial literacy rate up to 90% by 20242. To support this goal, university students, customers and other local communities were invited to the office for a learning session about basic financial management and insurance knowledge.
“Our corporate social responsibility and financial literacy programs this year are to focus on supporting and empowering women, students, and the diffable community. These are all in line with OJK’s goals. We hope that with putting these initiatives in place, Chubb Life Indonesia can deliver a positive impact to the Indonesian people, especially to citizens in Padang.” said Akhiz Nasution, Chief Marketing and Strategic Partnership, Chubb Life Indonesia.
