July 1 marked the beginning of Malaysia\u2019s Motor Insurance Liberalisation Journey. The liberalisation of motor insurance means that the price of motor insurance products will no longer be determined based on Motor Tariff (a set fixed price list). Pricing will be determined by individual insurers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Consumers will now be able to enjoy a wider choice of motor insurance products at competitive prices as liberalisation encourages innovation and healthy competition among insurers. Insurers are able to charge premiums that are in line with broader risk factors inherent in a group of policyholders being insured; and also sell new products that are not defined under the tariff.<\/p>\n
In short, the Liberalised market will drive fairer ways of pricing based on individual\u2019s risk profile.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday we are taking the first step in transitioning from what has been a consistent, calm and predictable insurance market into a competitive, vibrant and challenging one,\u201d said Derek Roberts, Chief Executive Officer of AmGeneral Insurance Bhd.<\/p>\n
As the number one private car insurer in Malaysia, AmGeneral Insurance Bhd (AmGeneral) insures one in every six cars in the country. It is one of the leading general insurers in the industry which underwrites policies with over RM1.2 billion on motor insurance premiums under its two well-known brands, AmAssurance and Kurnia Insurans.<\/p>\n
Backed by one of the largest banking groups in Malaysia, AmBank Group, and Australia\u2019s largest insurance company, IAG, and having an extensive network with approximately 7,000 agents, which serves as the main distribution channel for sales of the company\u2019s insurance policies, AmGeneral is geared up to assist consumers to get the best value for their money and protection they deserve.<\/p>\n
To kickstart the change, AmGeneral\u2019s \u201cTALK TO US\u201d campaign takes the lead aimed at encouraging the public calling their friendly and approachable agents first to get all the information they need to choose the best plans.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are fully committed to continuously deliver our valued services with our two strong brands, AmAssurance and Kurnia through Liberalisation – services we have built over the years for our customers,\u201d explained Grace Quah, Chief Distribution Officer of AmGeneral Insurance during the kick off of the Liberalisation campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n
