Inclusive Banca Takaful: Pak-Qatar Family Takaful and Instaful join hands

KARACHI: Pak-Qatar Family Takaful and Instaful Solutions have entered into a strategic partnership to introduce Inclusive Banca Takaful, a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country.

Banca Takaful, an innovative distribution model, involves offering Takaful products to bank customers, primarily to depositors. Unlike traditional Banca Takaful which typically targets a subgroup of wealthier individuals with higher deposit amounts, this new initiative aims to address the needs of the majority, middle- or low-net-worth individuals, comprising 60-70 percent of total bank depositors. These customers are exposed to host of savings, investment and protection needs which largely remain unserved under current model.

Recognizing the changing landscape influenced by enhanced digitalization, Pak-Qatar Family Takaful and Instaful believe that leveraging technology is key to scaling Takaful products beyond a limited niche to a mass clientele.
