Company information
Asteron has been a specialist life insurance company for more than 175 years.
In 1833 we wrote the first life insurance policy in Australia. And we paid the first claim shortly after. True to the promise we make to our customers, we’ve been paying claims ever since.
In 2008 Asteron paid more than $369 million in total claims to around 6,200 customers Australia-wide. That's about $1 million a day to Australian families when they need it most.
Asteron is part of the Suncorp Group.
Suncorp is a leader in Australia and New Zealand across banking, investment, insurance and superannuation with assets of around $85 billion.
The Suncorp Group builds and protects the dreams of more than seven million customers, under a portfolio of well-known brands such as GIO, AAMI, Vero, Tyndall and APIA (Australian Pensioners Insurance Agency).
