20 insurance advisers left NTUC Income

The Straits Times reported that 20 insurance advisers left NTUC Income to join other insurance companies, due to unhappiness with our insurance business center.

This is true. But it does not give the complete picture.

Each year, an average of 40 insurance agents from other companies join NTUC Income. They find it easier to sell our products, which give better value to their customers. Although they earn a lower rate of commission, they are able to earn more through a higher volume of sales.

Some join as supervisors or salaried consultants on fixed salaries.

NTUC Income aims to provide a new channel for people to buy insurance. We want to educate consumers and allow them to buy insurance from our business centers.

We will continue to have insurance advisers, who sell insurance to customers through the traditional way, by visiting their home or workplace. They continue to offer good value products to our customers.

There will be two channels to serve the two different groups of customers.
