Proper Consideration of Our Customers

ORIX believes customer satisfaction is the cornerstone and foundation that will enable ORIX Group to serve society and remain relevant in the years to come. Trust is imperative to every professional dynamic; to build enduring relationships with customers, ORIX must treat the various life events of customers as their own, ensure that respect and humility come before all else, and meet and exceed customer expectations without exception.
To achieve this, ORIX has identified and established the following two material issues.
   “Emphasize client satisfaction and developing and offering sustainable products and services.”
   “Endeavour to gain and keep the trust of our clients in all of our business areas.”
When seeking business opportunities, ORIX endeavors to understand customer needs and offer products and services that are tailored to those needs. Our unwavering focus on our customers drives us to maintain and sharpen the professional skills and expertise needed to best serve them.

ORIX Life Insurance and ORIX Bank have established Customer-Oriented Business Operation Policies on which they base their business and are earnestly carrying out initiatives to improve and strengthen the services provided to customers.

At ORIX Life Insurance, we believe customer satisfaction regarding overall customer experience and choosing ORIX Life Insurance as an insurance provider is most central to success.
