AIA Group Limited,[3] often known as AIA (Chinese: 友邦保險; pinyin: Yǒubāng Bǎoxiǎn; Jyutping: Jau5 bong1 bou2 him2), is a Hong Kong-based multinational insurance and finance corporation. It is the largest publicly listed life insurance group in Asia-Pacific. It offers insurance and financial services, writing life insurance for individuals and businesses, as well as accident and health insurance, and offers retirement planning, and wealth management services, variable contracts, investments and securities.
AIA is headquartered in Central, Hong Kong, with a presence in 18 markets in Asia-Pacific, with wholly-owned branches and subsidiaries in Hong Kong, mainland China, Taiwan, Macau, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brunei, Cambodia, Myanmar, Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and a 49% joint venture in India. Since 2013, AIA has had an exclusive bancassurance agreement with Citibank that encompasses 11 AIA markets in Asia-Pacific.
In August 2013, AIA became the official shirt partner of the English Premier League football club Tottenham Hotspur. AIA's contract with Tottenham was renewed in May 2017 to extend through the 2021–22 Premier League season, and again in July 2019 to extend that date to the end of the 2026–27 season.
In February 2019, AIA signed a two-year deal to become the main sponsor of the Singapore Premier League. The arrangement was later extended to the end of the 2022 season, with an option for another three years.[4][5]
