Neem<\/a> is excited to announce a strategic partnership with EFU Life<\/a>, one of Pakistan\u2019s leading insurers serving over 10 million customers. This collaboration marks Neem\u2019s entry into the insurance sector. The objective is to digitise the entire insurance value chain\u2014from premium collections to claims disbursements, powered by Neem\u2019s financial infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The integration of Neem\u2019s payment platform has helped us reimagine how premiums are collected, making the process faster, more secure, and customer-friendly. By digitising this critical touchpoint, we\u2019re improving efficiency for our teams and convenience for our policyholders, while laying the foundation for a more inclusive insurance experience. –\u00a0 <\/em>said Azeem Pirani, Chief Operations Officer at EFU Life commented \u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to digitising insurance payments, Neem and EFU Life are working to make access to insurance products more seamless. EFU Life\u2019s offerings will soon be integrated into\u00a0 Neem Paymenow<\/a>, Neem\u2019s Shariah-compliant earned wage access platform. This will empower employees to access and pay for Islamic insurance products, like life, health, and accident coverage, directly within the platform where they receive their salaries, making responsible financial planning much easier.<\/p>\n

By integrating with Neem Paymenow, we\u2019re extending the reach of Takaful protection to where it matters most people\u2019s everyday financial lives. This collaboration enables us to offer convenient, Shariah-compliant solutions that empower salaried individuals to protect themselves and their families without added financial or administrative burden. <\/em>said Ms. Nilofer Sohail, GM & Head – Channel Strategy & Growth Segments, EFU Life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why insurance, and why now?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Despite the growing need for financial protection in Pakistan, the insurance sector remains underdeveloped, with penetration still below 1% of GDP\u2014far behind regional standards. One of the key barriers is outdated, cash-heavy processes, creating friction for both insurers and customers. Digital payments, whether for premiums or claims, remain a major pain point, preventing a smooth experience.<\/p>\n

Our solution: A digital payments layer built for insurance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Together with EFU Life, Neem is solving these challenges by directly embedding a robust digital payment and wallet infrastructure into the insurance journey.<\/p>\n

With EFU Life, we\u2019re bringing embedded finance into one of the most critical sectors in Pakistan. We aim to digitise every step \u2014 from how customers pay, to how insurers disburse \u2014 making insurance more accessible, transparent, and efficient for both people and businesses across Pakistan,” <\/em>said\u00a0 Nadeem Shaikh, co-founder at Neem.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Integrating digital payments<\/a> can be complex, especially when dealing with compliance, multiple providers, and high costs. That\u2019s why Neem\u2019s platform is designed to be plug-and-play, low-code, and scalable, helping institutions go live quickly. EFU Life integrated Neem\u2019s Payment Button<\/a> in just days, proving that even large, established players can digitise payments without disrupting core systems.<\/p>\n
