AXA Ukraine, one of the country’s largest insurance groups, is the latest provider to become a member.

AXA Ukraine, one of the country’s largest insurance groups, with total premium written of UAH1.4 billion ($53.3 million) in 2016, is the latest provider to become a member of MAXIS Global Benefits Network (GBN). The addition of AXA Ukraine means that MAXIS GBN now has two partners in Ukraine (AXA Ukraine and MetLife Ukraine) and nearly 140 member insurance firms worldwide.

MAXIS GBN, co-founded by MetLife and AXA in 1998, is one of the world’s leading international employee benefits networks providing global service capabilities and delivering world-class employee benefits perspectives and solutions to clients in 115 markets around the world. MAXIS GBN successfully works in partnership with over 750 multinational clients to deliver the employee benefit solutions they need to help them care for their staff and meet the strategic goals of their business.

Established in 2011, following the merger of AXA Insurance and AXA Ukraine, AXA Ukraine is the largest Property & Casualty insurer in its home market with excess of 250,000 customers and a near 10% market share. One of its target growth markets is the protection space, a sector in which it is currently ranked 14th in terms of market share. The firm has developed a dedicated employee benefits programme, with a wider strategic focus on helping its clients in Ukraine to improve the health and quality of life of their staff.

Philippe Wautelet, CEO, AXA Ukraine, said: “Employee benefits is a growth market in Ukraine and we are delighted to join MAXIS GBN. The benefits to us and our corporate clients will be significant, helping to select and effectively manage employee benefit programmes for their employees. We believe the time is right to expand our employee benefits business for multinational clients and further build cooperation with international brokers and other key stakeholders.”

Matthew Richards, Director of Member Management, MAXIS Global Benefits Network said: “We are delighted to welcome AXA Ukraine to the MAXIS network which now offers our multinational clients an even greater choice when considering employee benefits in the country. Providing high quality solutions for our clients through our local members is at the heart of what we do and the addition of AXA Ukraine further enhances our network capabilities. And, AXA Ukraine can now look to capitalise on the momentum and aspirations it has to grow in the Ukraine employee benefits sector. At MAXIS, we understand the importance of employee benefits to our member insurance firms and how such benefits can be a major differentiator for their clients.”
