Distribution via Banco Santander Totta

Aegon signed a 25-year agreement to distribute insurance products through Santander's network of branches in Portugal in August 2014. Banco Santander Totta has over 10% market share, around 630 branches and over 2 million customers.

Under the terms of the agreement, Aegon acquired a 51% stake in Santander's Portuguese insurance activities. Through this partnership they offer life, home, accident, commercial, liability, protection and temporary disability insurance products.

In December 2016, health insurance was also added. At the same time both parties agreed to accelerate the commercial development of other insurance products.

Aegon acquired Polish life insurer Nationwide in 2005, pension funds PTE Erg Hestia in 2006, and PTE Skarbiec Emerytura in 2008. They currently have around 250 employees, with main offices in Warsaw, Krakow and Torun, in addition to approximately 30 regional sales offices.

In 2017, Aegon received approval by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority to take over the management of the Nordea OFE open pension fund. As a result of the takeover, the fund became the fourth largest open pension fund (OFE) on the Polish OFE market, both in terms of the number of members and the value of assets.

Today, the Aegon operates through a number of brands:

• Aegon Life Insurance Company SA (Aegon TU na Zycie SA) - expert in the creation of long-term programs and investment savings under life insurance contracts.
• Aegon PTE SA - manages the open pension fund for the social security system, which has almost 1 million members, or 1 in 20 Poles.
