Partners Life started life in 2011 We set out to build a life and health insurance company to help make a real difference to New Zealanders like you. By doing things in a fresh way, building highly effective products, championing financial advice and underwriting prudently. Thats why our purpose can be summed up as โ€œbuilding a brighter and more secure future for all New Zealanders.โ€โ€ฏ Today, weโ€™ve grown from a fledgling start-up to one of New Zealandโ€™s leading life and health insurers. Our rapid rise to the top has only been made possible because of the strong partnerships weve built over time with our customers and with financial advisers across the country. Thats why were called Partners Life. What really matters to us is how well we protect our clients when life takes a turn for the worst. Weโ€™re here when people need us most.
