What is AIA Vitality?

The AIA Vitality program is backed by science and one of the largest membership programs of its kind in the world. It encourages members to maintain and improve their health using financial incentives like premium discounts and cashback rewards. The wellness program thus supports its insurance partners by helping their clients become less of a health risk.
