Upay Customers Get Guardian Life Insurance Access

Guardian Life Insurance Limited has signed an agreement with UCB Fintech Company Limited (Upay) to ensure accessible and affordable insurance and healthcare services for Upay customers. This initiative places special priority on workers in the country’s ready-made garments sector, as well as agents, DSOs, and distributors connected to the Upay ecosystem—many of whom still remain outside formal financial protection services.

Under this partnership, Guardian is offering an integrated protection package that includes life insurance, disability insurance, and health insurance coverage. In addition, customers will receive essential healthcare services such as 24-hour tele-doctor consultations, discounts on hospital services, and benefits related to hospitalization due to accidents. The entire package has been designed to enable seamless access through Upay’s digital platform.

The agreement was formally signed by Sheikh Rakibul Karim, FCA, Chief Executive Officer of Guardian Life Insurance Limited, and Sajjad Alam, Corporate Sales Head of Upay. This partnership marks a new milestone for Guardian in its journey to expand inclusive insurance services.

Also present at the event from Guardian were Abdul Halim, EVP and Head of Micro Insurance, Digital Channel and ADC; Md. Naushadul Karim Chowdhury, Vice President; Md. Shahariar Jamil Abir, Business Development Manager; and Al-Amin, Deputy Manager. Representing Upay were Md. Nuruzzaman Tuhin, General Manager, Corporate Sales; Abhijit Gop Topu, Key Account Manager; and Imran Hasan Rimon, Key Account Manager, Merchant Business.

Speaking about the broader objective of this partnership, Sheikh Rakibul Karim said, “Our goal is to connect insurance more closely with the realities of people’s daily lives. Financial protection is especially important for all hardworking individuals, including those in the ready-made garments sector. This partnership with Upay will help us reach people more effectively and provide affordable, relevant solutions aligned with their real needs.”
