Polisa-Życie plans to offer insurance policies to VIP clients

Polisa-Życie insurance company, owned by the Polsat group, announced hopes to widen cooperation with bank PKO BP, by offering insurance policies to the retailer's VIP clients. "We are working together with PKO BP on new products for the bank's wealthiest clients. We would like to begin selling them early next year," said Zbigniew Adamczyk, head of Polisa-Życie and member of the board at Polsat Media. Since last spring, the company has offered products through the PKO BP network, which comprises 20% of the Polisa-Życie portfolio. Aside from cooperating with PKO BP and belonging to the same group, Invest Bank, the insurer is also working on building up its own sales network. "We are also planning to introduce new products for individual customers next year," added Adamczyk. The company has recorded contributions in the first half of 2003, of zł. 26 million, while growth dynamics reached 221%, as compared to the first six months of last year. Polsat has, therefore, revealed that it does not plan a quick sale of the insurer, as was announced in 2001. (Puls Biznesu, p. 5) A.K
