About MAXIS GBN

MAXIS GBN was co-founded in 1998 by MetLife and AXA, two of the largest and most trusted insurance companies in the world. In 2016, MAXIS GBN became a joint venture and established itself in London with offices at Monument where we employ an international team of 100 staff, with another 90 based in eight countries around the world.

At MAXIS GBN, we work with multinational companies to help them deliver employee benefits (EB) to their staff around the world. We are a market leader in the global EB space, offering global pooled and captive solutions as well as comprehensive wellness packages.

We do this through working with a network of local insurance companies (members) in more than 100 markets globally. More than 80% of our member insurers are owned by MetLife or AXA, the other 20% are independent local insurers – all are experts in their markets and help us to find the right solutions for the local offices of multinationals and their employees based there.

Our London headquarters houses support services from global marketing to finance to client reporting and underwriting while working with colleagues based in offices in locations across Europe, the USA and Asia.
