New Zealand-based insurance broker Coversure has announced the opening of a new office in Makati, Manila.

This new office leverages a local Filipino team as well as financial advisers in Aotearoa. In a social media post, Coversure said that this expansion means better service, more efficiency, as well as outstanding results for clients in New Zealand.

The new Makati hub is also in line with Coversure’s plans to increase in scale with industry novices with a “genuine passion” in a move to open up the sector to new people.

“From a business point of view, it’s an opportunity for us as a business to grow,” CEO Jason Venu said in conversation with Insurance Business. “But it’s also an opportunity for us to help elevate people into our industry who wouldn’t see this as a career.”
