MILVIK has already proven the demand and scale potential for this mobile insurance model in Pakistan previously. Having initially launched in 2016 with Warid Telecom, which merged with Jazz last year, MILVK has now reached 1 million customers, becoming one of the fastest-growing insurance service providers nationwide.

Osman Haneef, CEO and Managing Director of MILVIK Pakistan, commented: “We believe that mobile technology holds the key to unlocking the full, mass-market potential of microinsurance. This landmark partnership with Jazz will provide millions of families across Pakistan with access to low-cost insurance that will protect their financial future during times of distresses. As mobile penetration in Pakistan almost surpasses 70%, mobile represents an increasingly important model for delivering vital financial services to consumers across the country,”
