Sun Life of Canada (Philippines), Inc. (Sun Life) was bestowed the highest honor in the insurance  category of the 2021 Quality Service Awards. 

The winner was determined through a market research conducted by international publication  Reader’s Digest covering 30 categories in the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia. Consumers  were asked to vote which companies provided the highest level of service in the past 12 months  based on the following pillars: Personalization, Understanding, Simplicity, Satisfaction, and  Consistency.

“This recognition affirms that we are moving in the right direction as we strive to offer clients  the best experience possible in their financial journey. What makes this even more meaningful is  that it was achieved amid one of the most challenging years in our country’s history and in the  same year we’ve kept our #1 position in the life insurance industry,” Sun Life Philippines CEO &  Country Head Benedict Sison said.

The company has made special accommodations for payments and claim  forms submissions, and has also launched innovations such as the Digitally-Enabled Selling  process and Remote Online Medical Examination. Moreover, despite the restrictions brought  about by the pandemic, Sun Life upheld its commitment to clients and paid a total of PHP 4.7  billion in claims and maturities in 2020, with a special expedited process for COVID-19 claims.
