The company is placing a large emphasis on protection products, sales of which have grown significantly over the last few years.
“We firmly believe that life assurance is no longer a luxury product but an everyday necessity which can provide financial security to families should the worst happen. Through HSBC Bank’s excellent financial planning process we aim to assess the needs of customers and offer insurance solutions that fit these needs,” said Richard Reid, Managing Director, HSBC Life.
At present HSBC Life is also focusing on new challenges in particular the development of a private pension proposition, to be launched once the relative legislation has been enacted. As aptly put by Mr Shaun Wallis, HSBC Bank Malta’s Chief Executive, “more Maltese today understand and appreciate the benefits and the importance of protecting their loved ones in case something happens, while at the same time saving for various reasons. As with all our other products, we are determined that, when it comes to pensions, HSBC will be able to offer the choices and solutions customers want and need.”
