Life insurance is an integral part of people’s lives, but a lack of awareness about it is a key factor that has held back the growth of the sector.
MET (formerly known as Alico) is the leading international life insurer in Bangladesh. It has been in operation since 1952 and serves over a million customers.
360Health Solution
In the wake of increasing concerns triggered by serious illness, Metlife insurance bangladesh recently introduced its 360Health solution to empower customers in Bangladesh.

Developed in 2018, 360Health is based on insights gathered from close to 30,000 customers, and concentrates on five key serious illnesses of particular concern in Asia – cancer, heart disease, dementia, diabetes and mental health. By focusing on these conditions, it allows MET to differentiate itself by delivering relevant solutions and experience to address local priorities.
Digital Innovation
A leading life insurer in Bangladesh, MetLife Bangladesh offers a range of insurance solutions including insurance protection and retirement plans. Founded in 1952, it serves over a million customers and has 16,000 field force and employees.
As a major player in the financial sector, the company is dedicated to helping people understand their insurance options and confidently make progress in their financial lives. In order to address a wide range of consumer needs and improve their financial security, the company is working closely with Techstars mentors to bring innovative digital solutions to life through its Digital Accelerator program.
The program is designed to find and support startups that are focused on addressing the challenges that are critical to MetLife’s business priorities. In the first round, six startups were selected and they will work with MetLife leaders and Techstars mentors over a three-month period to develop and test their capabilities.
One of the companies selected is Cube, which uses Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to monitor regulatory changes and minimize the risk of compliance failures for insurers. This technology automates the capture of global regulatory data, alerts on any changes that may pose a compliance risk to businesses and pinpoints policies, procedures and controls that need to be updated to mitigate the risk.
