We can all do better in life with a little dose of this knowledge. So let's dig in!

William (Engineer) & Jane (Engineer)

My wife & I initially engaged Ben’s service to help our youngest to be covered for a Personal Accident Plan. Despite being new in this line of work, his enthusiasm and pro-activeness propels him to look for answers whenever he faces an obstacle. One example that illustrates the point above would be during the explanation of recommendations, not only did Ben explained in detail what the Personal Accident policy entails and covers, he went above and beyond to resolve our long-term concern on an existing plan that we gotten for our two kids about 20 years ago (we just casually asked!). Honestly, we did not have any expectations that our questions will be answered as we had a few agents over the years to help investigate it; none was able to provide a satisfactory answer to our question. On the other hand, Ben was able to provide us with a clear picture of what transpired during the policy phase and how it became its present stage. He was very forthcoming of his opinions and honest with his advice. From that experience, we felt assured and allowed Ben to help with our kids Protection Planning as well as our own Retirement Planning. Despite being new in this industry, I would strongly urge you to hear Ben out and I can reassure you that the way he plans and structures his recommendations will be for you & your family’s best interest!

Jovin (Sales Engineer)

I initially got to know Benjamin through a mutual friend. I found him very nice and approachable through our interactions. Fast forward a few months, I reached out to Ben to share more with me on AIA hospitalisation policy as I was planning to get a hospital plan in Singapore and was looking at the various provider. After comparison with another agent, I have decided to engage Ben’s service as his sharing was very clear and ensured I know what coverage I am getting. Ben went the extra mile to help explain my Malaysia's policies that I bought without knowing what I gotten then. His clear explanation as well as patience in ensuring I understood the policies provided me with the confidence and assurance I needed. I definitely recommend you to meet Ben and give him an opportunity to hear him out. It might be more beneficial than you think! Thanks for the best support Ben, to many more good conversations ahead!

Denise (Program Engineer)

When I first got to know that Ben had joined AIA, I wanted him to take over my existing policies that my parents had bought for me since he was someone I’ve knew and his brother was a long standing member in the insurance industry in any case that Ben decides to leave the industry, I will still have someone to look after my policies. As soon as Ben took over my policies, I was impressed with his professionalism and the depth of knowledge that he had over his products. He studied my financial situation carefully and made recommendations that were well within my capabilities with great coverage and there was no hard selling involved. In addition, his proactiveness to check in monthly created the personal touch that he has for his customers which is commendable as well. I feel comfortable and assured to have Ben as my agent as I do not have to worry about over-purchasing any policies and he is open to discussions whenever I have concerns. Great job Ben! Keep up the good work! Definitely recommending this dude if you ever need financial advice!

Shruti (Data Specialist)

As someone who was unsure about the health insurance process as a young working adult, Ben made the whole process very seamless and easy. He was extremely patient in answering all my doubts and queries. All my discussions with him were very thorough and he is a very thoughtful person who made sure that I'm comfortable with my choices without being pushy! After engaging with multiple agents to understand the right plan for me, I decided to engage with Ben's services as he met my needs aptly. His approach was very clear and concise, and most importantly he did not try to throw multiple choices that would cloud my opinions. I absolutely recommend him as he is a great agent and truly stands out amongst many others with his stress-free and calm approach towards discussions and understanding clients' needs!

Roy Lance (Engineer)

Ben and I have been friends for more than 10 years. When he told me he wanted to pursue a career in financial consulting, I knew that I can trust him with my financial future. He was meticulous and detailed about the policies - which I felt was necessary for my financial stability & understanding. At the same time, he patiently updates the portfolio summary every time to depict a clear picture of the pros & cons of each individual policies. Ben was determined in ensuring that I am familiar with the policies before moving on. I would highly recommend Ben as your financial advisor should you be looking for one! To Ben, keep up the good work buddy (son)!

Michelle (Assistant Professor)

It’s easy to engage the services of an Insurance Agent, but in my experience, a responsible agent is hard to come by. Benjamin is a god-sent after my previous agent went MIA. He is meticulous and paid close attention to my financial needs. There is no hard selling and I particularly appreciate the clear way in which he communicates policy details. Every discussion we’ve had was stress free. Every conversation feels like an informative conversation with an old friend. If you’re looking for financial planning advice, look no further.
