ING Insurance Central Europe has captured the Award for Regional Insurer of the Year from the international magazine Life & Pensions. At a special ceremony in London last night, the monthly magazine presented 12 awards to recognise excellence by the leading insurance and pensions providers in the field of risk, capital and financial management.

According to the jury of Life & Pensions, “ING Insurance Central Europe has shown itself to be consistently ahead of the game. It has displayed a healthy appetite for risk, in return for being the first to enter these high-growth markets.”

ING won the Regional Insurer Award for being a pioneer, innovator and leader in the insurance and pension markets in Central Europe for over 15 years. Combining an entrepreneurial approach with sound risk management, ING built a strong position in the region in both life insurance and pensions. ING Insurance Central Europe has operations in 9 countries. Its 3,800 employees and over 13,000 agents serve more than 6 million clients and manage total assets of EUR 19 billion.

Tom Kliphuis, CEO of Insurance Central Europe, said: “The award is a token of recognition for our employees and agents who work hard every day to help our clients manage their financial future. The needs and wishes of our clients are our driving forces for remaining a trailblazer in Central Europe.”
