ABOUT FWD GROUP
FWD Group spans Hong Kong SAR & Macau SAR, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Japan, Malaysia and Cambodia, offering life and medical insurance, general insurance, employee benefits, Shariah and family takaful products across a number of our markets.

We launched in 2013 with a powerful vision and to this day, that vision has never changed. Central to this, we know that changing the way people feel about insurance means doing things differently.
Led by our customers. Driven by technology. Looking outwards at what people need, rather than inwards at what the industry’s always offered.

So we offer a new kind of insurance. It’s easier to understand, easier to buy, and easier to claim. This isn’t the way insurance usually feels.

Life is complicated. Things don’t always go to plan. And occasionally, we all need a helping hand. But for too long, insurance has been slow, complicated, and frustrating.

So we’re here to tell a different insurance story. One where we do what we said we’ll do, and deliver on our promises. Our philosophy is that insurance should be a source of empowerment. So our starting point is: enjoy life; celebrate it – and if anything happens, have the confidence that we’ve got your back.

Led by our customers
While our customers are navigating life’s big moments, we’re supporting them with products and services that respond to the wants and needs of people in modern-day Asia. Because as the world changes, we change with it.

Doing more with digital
We’re leveraging the latest technology to grow our business and enhance the customer experience. Find out about the technology we’re building and the solutions we’re creating.

Empowering our people
Our people share our vision of changing the way people feel about insurance. In turn, we know that when people feel empowered, they’re more inspired to learn and to share. So we work hard to make this happen.
Innovating with cloud
By unlocking the cloud’s fullest potential, all of us can create unrivalled benefits not only for our businesses but for the millions across Asia who are starting to build insurance into their lives.
