Suitable insurance

This is our first year with Union Insurance who we had never heard of before. We have not had many issues from our employees and the only issues have been delays in pre approvals, reimbursements and claims but this seems to be the norm in the local insurer market. So far, we are quite happy with the policy overall.

Expert Assessment of Union Insurance

Union Insurance are a relatively new insurer to the market and also to AES. We have confidence in Union as we are familiar with their management who have been in the industry for a long time.

The relationship team are very helpful and willing to do what they can in order to assist us. It is beneficial that they use a number of TPAs, all of which are well established, trustworthy and who have user-friendly member apps.

Even though Union Insurance are within the local market, they often are too expensive when quoting and they don’t have any traits that make their prices reasonable, so we are rarely able to advise them as the best option for our clients.

It is great that they offer individual, SME and Corporate policies and with their flexibility and eagerness to assist us, and we will continue to send them RFQs in the hope that eventually they will be the most suitable option for our clients.
