Program Manager, Core Transformation

For the past 75 years, MS First Capital has been actively involved in the non-life insurance business both in Singapore and across Asia. Our roots can be traced back to the 1950s where we engaged in writing both personal and commercial lines of non-life insurance business across various classes such as Fire, Engineering, Marine Hull, Marine Cargo, Bond, Professional Indemnity, Motor, Public Liability, Worker's Compensation, Personal Accident and other Miscellaneous Accident.

We are a reputable source of cutting-edge insurance options, catering to a diverse range of clients, both individuals and corporate. We are proud that our financial strength rating of A+ (Superior) with Stable outlook has been reaffirmed by AM Best, given our consistently impressive financial performance.
