Underinsurance is a key issue

Zurich Middle East has been serving the region for over 30 years and in the last three years has paid out over USD 100 Million to the local community.
Our total benefits paid continues to rise and we pay all rightful claimants regardless of where they are in the world*.
Benefit payments made will be subject to any applicable trade or economic sanctions.
Over a 5 year period the total benefits paid has increased by 52% to USD 102M in 2016-2018
Customer benefits were paid to customers in over 35 countries across the globe.
Between 2016 - 2018, 93% of life cover and 94% of critical illness claims were paid. The residual claims not paid were due to non-disclosure or fraud.
