Garanti BBVA Pensions Receives Smart-i Award for Digital Transformation

Garanti BBVA Pensions was honored with the silver award in the Digital Transformation category of the Smart-i Awards for its innovative approach to digitizing insurance sales on Garanti BBVA Mobile.

The award recognizes Garanti BBVA Pensions for its pioneering accomplishment as the first company in the Turkish insurance sector to offer Premium Refundable Life Insurance on digital channels. The bank’s product provides death coverage during the policy term, and refunds the premiums paid at the end of the period, with life coverage indexed to the U.S. dollar. This provides customers rapid, convenient and secure access to life insurance, and reinforces the company’s leadership in the digitization of the insurance industry.

Gökhan Koca, General Manager of Garanti BBVA Pensions, emphasized that the company closely follows the rapid advances in digitization, and seeks to bring the latest technologies to its customers. “We are proud to lead the way in the digitization of the insurance industry by offering our Premium Refundable Life Insurance product on Garanti BBVA Mobile,” he stated, adding that the recognition “is a testament to the value of our technology-driven approach and the commitment of all team members who contributed to this success.”
