Dar es Salaam. CRDB Bank’s agents will now be offering insurance services as the lender seeks to
play an increasingly important role in boosting the uptake of indemnity services across the country.With over 25,000 agents – who are
known as CRDB Wakala – the bank stands a good chance of lifting insurance
uptake from the current 15 percent of adult Tanzanians to 50 percent in the
year 2030 in line with the government’s aspirations.
Gracing the launch of the initiative
in Dar es Salaam yesterday, the Deputy Commissioner for Insurance from Tanzania
Insurance Regulatory Authority (Tira), Khadija Said said the move was important
in boosting uptake insurance in the country.
“With over 25,000 agents, it goes without
saying that it will greatly improve the uptake of insurance services in the
country,” she said, urging the agents to follow the laid down procedures.
CRDB Bank will conduct a special
campaign codenamed: ‘10 na Kitu’ in its effort to create public awareness
regarding its services, including insurance products.
She commended CRDB Bank for ensuring
that 95 percent of its services – which include account opening – are being
accessed through the bank’s agents.
CRDB Bank’s director of retail
banking Bonaventure Paul said the ‘10 na Kitu’ campaign was deliberately
designed to celebrate 10 years since the lender introduced its agent banking
services.
“We will therefore be giving out
awards to our agents on monthly basis. The agents to be awarded will be those
that will have conducted the highest number of transactions; those will have
opened the highest number of accounts and those who will have sold the highest
number of insurance products,” he said.
In total, the bank will give out 40
motorbikes, five tricycles and a Toyota Alphad to its agents during the period
of the campaign.
