EFU Life Assurance

What EFU Life Assurance does

EFU Life Assurance Limited, founded in 1992 as Pakistan's first private-sector life insurance company, is the country's leading life, health, and family takaful operator in the private sector. The company operates a dual-model business spanning conventional life and health insurance alongside Shariah-compliant family takaful under its wholly-owned Hemayah Takaful window, regulated by the SECP. Its product portfolio covers the full life-insurance value chain — term and unit-linked protection plans (Security Plus, Life Protector), savings and wealth-building plans (Capital Growth, Emerald, Humsafar), retirement and pension solutions (Executive Pension Plus), child-future plans (Education, Marriage, Head Start), women-focused plans (Nisa Savings Plus), and group/corporate benefits — plus the newly launched Mukammal Sehat health insurance plan.

Distribution is built on a multi-channel architecture: a 7,000+ direct sales force across 300+ branches in 125+ cities, bancassurance partnerships with 21 leading Pakistani banks (MCB, UBL, HBL, Askari, Bank Alfalah, JS Bank, NBP, Standard Chartered, Habib Metropolitan, Allied, Bank of Punjab, Silk, Samba, First Women, Faysal, Dubai Islamic, Bank Islami, Telenor Microfinance) reaching 5,000+ bank branches, a dedicated corporate benefits team serving 2,000+ corporates, 35+ inclusive insurance ecosystem partners (Jazz Cash, easypaisa, HBL, Waada Digital, Bykea, Takaful Bazaar, EasyInsurance, Mashwara.ai, Digitt+, Telenor), and digital channels including the award-winning Thrive mobile app, EFU Life PlanIT, EFU Mini App, and the EFU LifeBot AI chatbot.

Revenue is generated through recurring premium-based subscription streams from individual and group life insurance policies, Shariah-compliant takaful contributions, and fees from managing PKR 263 billion in unit-linked investment funds. In 2025, the company reported gross premium of PKR 57.05 billion, profit after tax of PKR 2.44 billion, ROE of 24%, and a 150% cash dividend payout, with 14 million+ lives insured and PKR 11.96 billion in claims paid supporting 83,009 families.
