Members vote to combine Accuro with Unimed
The Boards of Unimed and Accuro have announced that Accuro members have endorsed the proposal to transfer the Accuro insurance portfolio and operations to UniMed.
Members voted in favour at both Special General Meetings, with 92.8% and 96.1% voting in favour at the first and second meetings respectively.
Next a portfolio transfer application will be made to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) for approval, which is likely to be completed early next year. If the RBNZ approves the application then the two brands will combine under the Unimed banner, making Unimed the third largest medical insurer in New Zealand with a membership of around 140,000 members.
