ORIX Life Launches Kokoro Capsule Video Message Service for Insurance Beneficiaries

Oct 31, 2024

TOKYO, Japan – October 31, 2024 – ORIX Life Insurance Corporation (“ORIX Life”) announced today that it launched its new service, Kokoro Capsule (kokoro: “heart”), in which ORIX Life stores policyholders' video messages that will be delivered to their beneficiaries along with the insurance payout. This is the first service of its kind in the life insurance industry.

Kokoro Capsule is a complimentary service offered with life insurance policies that include death benefits. After the policy is issued, the policyholder can record a personal message and register it through a dedicated website. The message will be securely stored by ORIX Life and delivered to the beneficiary if the policyholder passes away, alongside the insurance payment.
Life insurance plays a crucial role in protecting loved ones in times of loss. Through Kokoro Capsule, ORIX Life aims to go beyond insurance payment by delivering the heartfelt thoughts of the policyholder. This service was developed internally with the concept of ensuring that those leaving (policyholders) can leave without regrets and offering emotional support to those left behind (beneficiaries) as they move forward with their lives.

ORIX Life will continue to provide services that closely support our customers and strive to be an insurance company that is trusted by customers.
