    Our aim is to provide the best services and products in private pension and life insurance sector by identifying current customer needs and expectations via our channel and product-based customer satisfaction surveys. We noticed that individuals have lack of awareness and knowledge regarding financial protection and savings products. Through our interactions with customers, we have found that one of their greatest needs is right choice of life insurance and pension products, as well as lack of holistic view of future they are planning for themselves and their families. In January 2023, we launched Customized Future Planning Module, to recommend the most suitable pension and life insurance products for individuals in line with their needs and expectations, through our digital channels. This service has been designed to guide our customers to easily calculate the savings they need for their future.

    In addition to information about age, marital status, number of children, education and employment status, salary, household assets and annual income level, investment tendency, consumption habits, debt level, education planning for children and current savings is expected to offer personalized recommendations by considering their existing products. If the products Customized Future Planning Module recommend are available for sale through our digital channels, we direct them to the purchase screen. If savings deficit is calculated for a customer with a savings product, we direct them to the screen where they can increase the number of regular contributions paid instead of recommending new product.

    In align with our targets, we developed Customized Future Planning Module which is the first of its kind in the sector. The added value of our project is not to make product suggestions, but to offer these suggestions in a personalized manner based on such detailed data we receive from customers about their financial information and consumption habits. Offering product recommendations tailored to our customers by considering their expectations and needs through an end-to-end analysis reveals the innovative side of our service. In addition, we consider that considering the existing products of our customers in product recommendation process is another valuable point to offer optimum solution for our customers.
