PT Syarikat Takaful Indonesia (the Company) was established on
February 24, 1994 on the initiative of the Establishment Team of
Indonesian Takaful Insurance (TEPATI) and with the full support of
the Indonesian Moslem Scholars Association (ICMI), through Abdi
Bangsa Foundation, Bank Muamalat Indonesia Tbk., Syarikat Takaful
Malaysia Bhd., PT Asuransi Jiwa Tugu Mandiri, Ministry of Finance
of Indonesia, and several other local Moslem entrepreneurs.
During the formation of TEPATI, Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Bhd.
(STM) provided the technical support on the operational aspect,
and consequently went on to become the majority shareholder
after increasing its initial capital in 2001. Takaful Indonesia’s capital
structure was further strengthened with the support of Permodalan
Nasional Madani (PNM), which joined the Company in 2000, and
the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) which joined later in 2004.
Through PT Asuransi Takaful Keluarga and PT Asuransi Takaful
Umum, the two subsidiaries of Takaful Indonesia, the Company
effectively serve the needs of the nation for insurance and financial
management services which conform to the principles of syariah.
PT Asuransi Takaful Keluarga (also known as Takaful Keluarga),
which offers the syariah-based life insurance, was first established
on August 4, 1994 but only began operations on August 25, 1994
when the Company was inaugurated by the then Minister of
Finance, Mr. Mar’ie Muhammad. Subsequently, on June 1, 1995,
PT Asuransi Takaful Umum (also known as Takaful Umum) was
established, focusing on syariah-based general life insurance. It
was officially inaugurated by Prof. Dr. B.J. Habibie, Minister of
Research and Technology/Chairman of the Supervisory Board for
the Evaluation and Implementation of Technology (BPPT) at the
time.
Along its progressive journey, the Company undertook several
restructuring efforts, which had successfully merged the marketing
functions of Takaful Keluarga and Takaful Umum, enabling the
Company to penetrate the insurance industry more effectively
and efficiently.
The Company’s effort to enhance service was further spurred by
it receiving two ISO 9001:2001 certification, one from SGS JASANZ,
New Zealand for Takaful Umum; and another from Det
Norske Veritas (DNV), for Takaful Keluarga.
Clearly, Takaful Indonesia’s commitment as a prominent provider
for syariah insurance was aptly endorsed by the industry, evident
from the several awards bestowed on the Company by various
institutions throughout the year 2007.
Supported by the Company’s robust image, wide range of marketing
networks, as well as sturdy synergy within the group, Takaful
Indonesia is well poised to lead the syariah insurance industry for
years to come.
