Lisle: 'We hope to complete the final stages (of the integration with ING) in the next one or two months.'

To tap into this growth opportunity, chief executive officer Bill Lisle said that the group, which is in the midst of completing its integration with ING Group’s domestic insurance operations, plans to employ more full-time agents and leverage on new technology.

“We would also beef up efforts to recruit full-time life planners in line with the central bank’s requirements, as well as strengthen our bank partnerships,” he said.
