iFA On! Insurance, Reimagined.

Mission

We help prepare for life’s “what ifs” (Insurance)
and plan for life’s certainties (Assurance)
— through Finance.

· i (Insurance) Preparing for unforeseen risks. Contingent risks. We prepare for our customers’ “what ifs.” We ensure their lives stand firm even against the uncertain odds of unexpected accidents and illness.
· F (Finance) The engine that connects “risk preparedness”—the starting point of financial planning—with “preparation for a certain future” at the destination. We view Finance not as a subject, but as a function and mechanism.
· A (Assurance) Preparing for the future that will inevitably come. Certain risks. We promise our customers’ “someday.” From retirement and later years to the final moments for family, we prepare so that the inevitable future becomes something to look forward to, not fear.

Catch Phrase

Insurance Fully Augmented!

iFA's Fully Augmented Insurance

This signifies that iFA's insurance services have been fully augmented into an entirely different system in terms of functionality, role, and scope compared to simple insurance comparison services. Through iFA AI — which enables Medi-Code Insurance Design (insurance planning using health checkup and genetic data) and VFA (VA Fund Advising: variable annuity fund recommendations) — we are redefining customers' criteria for choosing insurance.

More and more customers are
discovering iFA every day.
