Life insurer MetLife Bangladesh has settled Tk 1,537 crore worth of claims in the first six months of this year.

The amount includes the money customers received as insurance benefits and claims for loss of life and medical needs, MetLife said in a press release yesterday.

The insurance company said MetLife's customers enjoy the best claim settlement experience as they can submit their claim requests online and receive claimed money within three to five working days.

"MetLife is continuously investing in building a robust insurance infrastructure, which is helping our customers to get various services, including receiving claims faster and without any hassles," said Ala Ahmad, chief executive officer of MetLife Bangladesh.

Receiving claims without any delay is one of the most important experiences for customers and it contributes to strengthening trust in the insurance sector, he said.
