Westpac life insurance is powered by Fidelity Life
Westpac Group has sold its New Zealand life insurance business, Westpac Life-NZ- Limited (Westpac Life), to New Zealand insurer Fidelity Life Assurance Company Limited (Fidelity Life) on 28 February 2022. Westpac Life will now be called Fidelity Insurance Limited (Fidelity Insurance). It’s the same company, just with a different name now that it’s owned by Fidelity Life.
Who is Fidelity Life?
Fidelity Life has paid more than $1.2 billion in claims to New Zealanders since it was founded in 1973. It won the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) New Zealand Life Insurance Company of the Year award in 2017, 2018 and 2019, and was a finalist for the 2021 award.
