A grand ceremony in celebration of AIA’s and NDB’s top Bancassurance performers was recently held at the Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo. The ceremony was of great significance as it attested to the successful long-term relationship enjoyed between the two companies.

The event recognised those that had excelled in the year 2016 from both AIA’s Bancassurance team and Bank branch team, for their immense dedication in developing the Bancassurance channel.

The award for ‘Top Bank Referrer 2016’ was claimed by Ajantha Perera from the NDB Kadawatha branch. The award for ‘Best Bank Regional Manager for the year 2016’ went to Sydney Downall of Region 01. The ‘Top Branch’ award went to Badulla branch which was recognised as the ‘Best Branch’ for 2016, with the Kotahena branch being named first runner up, the Old Moor Street branch being named second runner up and the Chavakachcheri branch winning the award for ‘New Entrant’.

Notably, AIA has 29 Million Dollar Round Table members (MDRT) from its Bancassurance channel, out of which 18 of them are attached to the NDB bank operation. These MDRT members were also recognised at the awards ceremony, for their outstanding achievement. MDRT membership is internationally recognised as the highest standard of excellence in the world that a life insurance sales person can achieve.
