SanlamAllianz Nigeria has been awarded the coveted title of .NG Insurance Website of the Year at the 2025 NiRA .NG Awards. The company’s official website, www.sanlamallianz.com.ng, was recognized for its excellence in local content, user experience, functionality, relevance, and dynamism amidst strong competition.
The Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA), the governing body for .ng domain registrations, organized the awards to celebrate and highlight the achievements of Nigerian internet initiatives across various sectors. The focus is on showcasing businesses that enhance the internet experience for users in Nigeria.
Chris Ekwonwa, Group Head of Strategy, Marketing and Customer Relations at SanlamAllianz Nigeria, expressed pride in the achievement. “This award is a testament to the overall quality of our website. Last year, we were finalists at this award as Sanlam Nigeria; now as SanlamAllianz Nigeria, following our joint venture with Allianz, we have brought this home,” he remarked. Ekwonwa emphasized that the recognition reinforces the brand’s rebranding theme of “two giants coming together,” highlighting their commitment to innovative customer experiences.
In addition to the website accolade, SanlamAllianz Nigeria also received recognition from Netcore/Infytel, which named the company the most innovative user of its marketing services platform. Bankole Banjo, Marketing and Corporate Communications Manager at SanlamAllianz Nigeria, stated, “When it comes to digital adoption, we are clearly one of the leading lights in our industry.” He highlighted the company’s user-friendly mobile application, SanlamAllianz Connect, and the agents’ app designed for seamless transactions by their team of over 5,000 field agents.
The joint venture between Sanlam, Africa’s largest non-banking financial services firm, and Allianz, a globally recognized insurance brand, was established across 28 African countries, with SanlamAllianz Nigeria launching in June 2025. This merger not only positions the brand as a leader in the insurance sector but also marks a new chapter in its commitment to engage with customers in innovative ways.
As the digital landscape evolves, SanlamAllianz Nigeria remains at the forefront of delivering exceptional online services, ensuring a secure and accessible internet experience for all its users.
