Our History
Cigna New Zealand is part of Cigna Corporation, a
Fortune 500 company and one of the world's largest publicly-owned
insurance and financial services companies. Cigna Corporation has
over two centuries of experience, stretching back to its origins in
the the US with Connecticut General (CG) and the Insurance Company
of North America (INA).
International Strength
Cigna's international operations began in the late 19th century
when INA marketed insurance on three continents through general
agents, and later through foreign offices. Cigna's other founding
company, Connecticut General traded internationally from 1962.
In 1984, Cigna Worldwide was formed and became one of the
largest international insurance operations. From our American roots
in Philadelphia and Hartford, we have branched into Asia and the
Pacific Rim countries, into Europe and throughout the Americas.
Today, Cigna is one of a handful of organisations that offers
truly international insurance, benefits and financial products and
services. In major markets around the world, Cigna Corporation's
operating subsidiaries provide an integrated suite of medical,
dental, behavioural health, pharmacy and vision care benefits, as
well as group life, accident and disability insurance, to
approximately 46 million people.
New Zealand operations
In New Zealand, Cigna's heritage dates back over 85 years to
just after the First World War. We evolved out of two insurance
companies, INA, which started conducting business in New Zealand in
1919 and Monarch Life Insurance Limited, which was first registered
in 1968.
In 1986, after various mergers and takeovers, Cigna Life
Insurance New Zealand Limited was born. We now protect more than
275,000 New Zealanders with policies ranging from disability cover
to term life insurance.
