2. Operating model
As a foreign-affiliated direct / online-friendly life insurer, Zurich Life has analysis routes for medical, cancer, income-protection and protection products. The existing zurich-japan page includes the Sompo Japan Branch and Zurich group overview, so the life-insurance license boundary will be separated into this page.
3. Why this page matters
- Corrects the old mixed Zurich Japan / Zurich Life coverage boundary.
- Supports direct life-insurance comparison against lifenet, sbi-life, and orix-life.
- Adds a registry-confirmed standalone life-insurer page.
