By LOVETH AZODO,  Lagos

SanlamAllianz Nigeria has been named the winner of the Best Insurance Website / Portal NiRA .NG Awards 2025, emerging top among industry competitors in the annual awards organised by the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA).

The announcement places the insurer at the centre of conversations around digital innovation within Nigeria’s financial services sector.

The award signals a notable leap for SanlamAllianz Nigeria, which was a finalist in the same category last year before its merger with Allianz.

According to Chris Ekwonwa, Group Head of Strategy, Marketing and Customer Relations, described the recognition as a validation of the firm’s website overhaul, noting that the transition from Sanlam Nigeria to SanlamAllianz Nigeria has involved major upgrades in user experience and service delivery across digital touchpoints.

The award comes just days after SanlamAllianz received another nod from Netcore/Infytel, a marketing services and automation firm, which named the insurer the most innovative user of its platform.

Also speaking, Marketing and Corporate Communications Manager, SanlamAllianz Nigeria, Bankole Banjo said its customer-facing tools such as the SanlamAllianz Connect app and the agents’ paperless sales platform are part of a wider strategy to modernise service access and streamline operations for its over 5,000 field agents.

Industry analysts say the series of recognitions may reflect the benefits of the Sanlam–Allianz merger, which combined one of Africa’s largest non-banking financial institutions with one of the world’s most recognisable insurance brands.

The joint venture, formalised across 28 African countries and launched in Nigeria in June 2025, has positioned the unified entity as a major force in the Africa’s insurance market.

The .NG Awards, administered by NiRA the body that manages Nigeria’s country code top-level domain recognise organisations whose online platforms demonstrate strong local relevance, user experience, functionality and dynamism.
