Insuring A Future With IMTIYAZ: A Family of Leaders That Never Quit

Wan Zaini Wan Hassan came from a humble background, his father was in the military and his mother was a fulltime housewife. As the eldest child of six siblings living in Kuala Selangor in the 1970s, the responsibility towards his family was the drive for him to succeed in whatever he did.

At the time when he sat for his agent examination, there were only 5 Bumiputeras out of the 40 candidates. After passing his exam, there was no turning back. He began to pave his future, and in 2010, led his own company Imtiyaz Consultancy Sdn. Bhd.

As Imtiyaz Consultancy grows, they continue on working towards their mission to become the No.1 preferred takaful solution that people seek for, whether they are looking of takaful protection, takaful investment and coverage.
