"Bank assurance provides immense client resources and opportunities for our business," Christian Molt, chief executive officer, said.
The service recorded a total turnover of 880 billion yuan last year through over 1,000 bank outlets, the company said Wednesday.
AZCL took in more than 500 million yuan over the counters of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
In 2006, AZCL colleted 700 million yuan of the premium income from Shanghai, up 200 percent year on year, while making 400 million yuan in Guangdong Province, five times more than a year before.
