MetLife secures First Super mandate
MetLife has extended its reach into the Australian group insurance market, picking up a key mandate from First Super.
The mandate was confirmed this week by First Super chief executive Graeme Russell, who said it had followed a competitive tender process.
He said the selection of MetLife had been based on product design, price and service.
"Our members will benefit from new insurance features, such as providing cover to currently uninsured members and improvements to policy terms and conditions," Russell said.
MetLife Australia chief executive Marc Lieberman said the company would be seeking to adopt a partnership approach with First Super.
First Super has previously utilised OnePath as its insurance provider.
