“The BAI Global Innovation Award win was a huge feather in our proverbial cap. Not only did the award globally recognize our achievement as a relatively new South African Life Insurance business trying to make a difference to the lives of our customers, but also gave our incredible team a motivational boost – enabling us to use our globally validated thinking to take our business to new heights, always with our customers top-of-mind.

We continue to strive towards being a business that continually innovates and finds new ways to disrupt the market and improve customer journeys and experiences, with our Dynamic Life offering laying a solid foundation for us to build on. Thank you to BAI for providing us with the platform to do this – the exposure received has had an overall positive impact on our brand and is used to create trust with our customers when selling this excellent product.”
