About Partners Life
Partners Life is a New Zealand-owned insurer known for the most comprehensive and explicit policy wordings in the NZ market. They're particularly valued for how clearly they define what's covered — fewer grey areas means fewer claim disputes. Note: Partners Life was acquired by Dai-ichi Life Insurance (Japan) in 2023, though they continue to operate as a NZ-run entity.
