Prudential Life Insurance Ghana has iterated its commitment to its customer base, stressing that its game changing strategy is to keep the customer at the heart of its business by looking for reasons to pay claims instead of reasons why it could not.
The company made this known in a statement to mark its 9th anniversary of operations in Ghana. According to the company, with a heritage of paying claims that dates to 1912, Prudential has honoured its obligation to 324 insured lives that were lost aboard the Titanic, and being cognisant of the low levels of trust and credibility that characterised the industry.
“In recent years, however, customer needs are evolving and Prudential is responding by changing the game yet again. It is moving from simply designing products that protect customers from the risks of life and honouring claims to protecting policyholders with preventive products and services that encourage wellbeing.”

Nine years ago, Prudential Plc acquired an insurance company, known as Express Life Insurance back then. It was the first acquisition of several that followed across Africa, which served as a testament to Prudential’s 175-year long dedication to get the most out of life for individuals, families and institutions across Asia and Africa.
Since then, Prudential Life Insurance Ghana has consistently worked towards delivering employment, protection solutions, exceptional service and humanitarian support to millions of Ghanaians, making it the fourth largest life insurer in terms of market share.

Prudential noted that this programme, which is now on the curriculum, is taught to children in primary schools in various parts of Ghana to ensure that as they grow up, they are educated on how to save and invest to build a secured financial system for themselves, their families and the country as a whole.
“Our financial literacy efforts involve us reaching various segments of the Ghanaian population with tips on how to better secure their future through market outreaches, the Prudent Sika Sukuu conference in tertiary institutions across the country.”
