An insurance company of the Bank CenterCredit group
Sinoasia B&R: from medical insurance to a universal insurer
Sinoasia B&R Insurance Company JSC is a Kazakhstani general insurance company and part of the Bank CenterCredit ecosystem for individuals and businesses. It grew out of a specialised medical insurer founded in 2007 and today offers more than 20 products: from voluntary health insurance (VHI) and international medical insurance to CASCO, cargo and property insurance and compulsory types of liability insurance. The company's reliability is confirmed by an S&P Global Ratings rating of "BB" with a positive outlook and an insurance financial strength rating of Ba1.
Company history
In 2007 the investment group Archimedes Health Development established Archimedes Kazakhstan Medical Insurance Company JSC. In its early years the company specialised in medical programmes, and in 2015 it became the first insurer in Kazakhstan to sign an agreement with Alliance Worldwide Care (AWP Health & Life) for international medical insurance. In 2017 the shares of Archimedes Health Development were acquired by the owner of Sinoasia Alliance Group, after which the company changed its name to Sinoasia B&R.
A new stage began in 2023, when Bank CenterCredit acquired a block of the insurer's ordinary voting shares and became the owner of more than 90% of its capital. Based on the results of 2025, the company won the "Company of the Year 2025" award established by the National Information and Analytical Centre. In January 2026 Sinoasia B&R received licence No. 2.1.31 dated 30.01.2026 with an expanded list of classes, which included water and aircraft CASCO, liability of water and air transport owners, insurance of loans to legal entities and insurance of losses of financial institutions.
