ABOUT MICROINSURANCE
Microinsurance gives the underserved the chance to think big, and to take financial chances they could not otherwise take without its protection. As microinsurance pioneer, AIG first entered the market in 1994, offering small cap, small premium coverage to markets not even considered by other insurers. Today, AIG continues to make a difference as a member of Blue Marble, a consortium of nine insurance companies dedicated to helping the underserved build better lives.
For small scale farmers and entrepreneurs in the developing world, the unexpected—one small variation in the weather, for instance–can mean financial ruin. Against this reality, many never dream of growing their businesses or expanding their crops, and remain trapped in the same fragile financial situation year after year.
In partnership with our associates, today we make a difference in the lives of the underserved across a range of products including Personal Accident, Agricultural Insurance, Hospital Cash, Credit Life and Agricultural implements.
AIG was one of the first companies to offer microinsurance when we began offering microinsurance solutions in Uganda in 1997. Our approach and our programs have evolved since then, with greater collaboration with banks, local governments, micro-finance institutions, non-governmental organizations and other constituents to provide need-based micro-insurance coverage.
While traditional insurance is mainly about insuring one’s lifestyle, microinsurance is all about insuring the basic livelihood and health of those in a low-income segment. Advancements in technology, including mobile phones, satellite data and digital currency, coupled with product innovation and more distribution channels has resulted in greater opportunity to offer economically viable and sustainable insurance protection programs for the underserved.
