Depends

Should I use Prudential?

Insurance, savings and retirement products sold through advisors in Singapore - prudential.com.sg

· 1 week ago

Prudential Singapore is worth shortlisting if you want advisor-sold life, health or retirement cover from a large, stable insurer. Skip it if you want transparent online pricing, or if claim-denial disputes and the US arm's 2024 breach worry you.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~50 public sources; most cover the US arm (Prudential Financial), not prudential.com.sg — Singapore-specific evidence is thin, hence low confidence.

Breach, settlement and lawsuits involve the US arm (Prudential Financial), not necessarily.sg
