Egemen Aydın, Digital Applications and Bancassurance Manager at Aksigorta, reflects on their victory in Lisbon and tells us a little more about the project.

Can you introduce yourself and tell us more about your role at Aksigorta?

I am Egemen Aydın, I have worked in various roles in the Bancassurance field at Aksigorta for more than 10 years. My current position is Digital Applications and Bancassurance Manager.

What made you most proud of the embedded card debt insurance project? What was your greatest achievement in making it happen?

The motto of our IT department is ‘Value Creation’. I can say that producing an output suitable for this purpose in our embedded insurance project made the whole team proud.

What is the most important thing you would tell someone considering embarking on a similar project?

Although the embedded insurance approach is embedded behind another main service, as its name suggests, it is an approach that can achieve striking results in terms of business results and customer experience when positioned together with the right products.
