AmMetLife is the name of Malaysian life insurance company, AmMetLife Insurance Berhad, and family takaful operator, AmMetLife Takaful Berhad. The companies are joint ventures between AmBank Group and New York-based MetLife. They offer a range of insurance and wealth protection products through AmBank's branch offices.[1]

AmMetLife was formed when MetLife agreed to purchase stakes in AmBank Group's life insurance and family takaful businesses for RM812 million.[2] The deal closed in April 2014.[3] MetLife has 50 percent plus one share in AmMetLife Insurance and 50 percent less one share in AmMetLife Takaful.[4] As part of the deal, AmMetLife has an exclusive 20-year agreement to sell insurance and takaful products through AmBank and AmIslamic Bank.[2]
