Aflac provides supplemental health and life insurance products to individuals and families, operating mainly in two regions: Aflac Japan and Aflac U.S. Its policies are designed to cover out-of-pocket costs from health events and income loss, including cancer, critical illness, accidents, hospital stays, and life events. These benefits are paid directly to policyholders to help manage medical expenses not fully covered by primary insurance. The products are distributed through a network of independent agents, brokers, and financial advisors, enabling a high-volume, low-premium model that supports a large, stable customer base and ongoing revenue. Japan is its largest market, and the company uses this broad distribution and scale to differentiate itself from competitors. The goal is to provide straightforward financial protection against unexpected health-related costs while expanding its presence in the U.S. and Japanese markets.
