Manulife partners with Grab to help busy Filipinos plan for their futures

Philippines - Manulife partnered with ride-hailing service Grab to educate Filipinos on-the-go about
the importance of saving, investing, and life insurance.

Two hundred Manulife-branded GrabCars are each currently installed with a tablet where
passengers can watch informative videos featuring actress/model Isabelle Daza, comedian
KaladKaren, and host/comedian Victor Anastacio. After each video, they can opt to schedule an
appointment with a financial adviser by filling up an online form.

Passengers will be asked to input their name, email address, and preferred date of appointment
when they sign up. Manulife will then match them with a financial adviser based on the information
they have given.

“In our commitment to provide innovative financial solutions to our customers, we are using
technology to make it easier for them to plan for their futures,” said Ryan Charland President and
CEO of Manulife Philippines. “With our partnership with Grab, we’ll be able to make Filipinos’ time in
transit more productive by showing them ways they can manage their finances and secure their
futures.”

Cindy Toh, Country Marketing Head of Grab Philippines added: “Manulife and Grab share the same
vision of improving the lives of Filipinos. As the leading online-to-offline (020) mobile platform in
Southeast Asia, we are glad that this partnership with Manulife will allow our consumers to use their
time on the road to plan their future.”

The Manulife-branded GrabCars are present in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
