String of awards for ING life insurance

Industry peers continue to recognise the strength and innovation of ING Australia’s life insurance products.

Just weeks after winning Life Company of the Year (AFR Smart Investor Blue Ribbon Awards 2008), ING Australia has been named Risk Company of the Year – this time at the Money Management Adviser Choice Awards 2008.

“These awards reflect ING’s commitment to providing the quality of protection and service that our customers deserve,” said Gerard Kerr, Head of Marketing and Retail Product.

“Being in life insurance, it’s especially important that our customers trust us. To this end, we’re always searching for ways to innovate and optimise our offering.”

And in a further accolade to ING Australia, the life business (ING Life Limited) has achieved a ratings upgrade from Standard & Poor’s.

S&P has raised its insurer financial strength rating on ING Life Ltd to “AA-“ from “A+”.  In announcing this upgrade, S&P stated that the “upgrade follows consolidation if ING Life’s position in the Australian life-risk market and the insurer’s improving underlying performance metrics”.
