All Aegon mortgages successfully transferred
In October, the final part of Aegon’s mortgage portfolio was successfully migrated to Stater’s mortgage platform. Since January 2025, new mortgage applications from Aegon customers were already being processed via Stater, and by June, two-thirds of the portfolio had been transferred. This marks the completion of a large-scale migration and represents an important milestone in the integration of a.s.r. and Aegon Nederland. Stater has long been the trusted platform for mortgage processing at a.s.r.
‘With this transition, we are creating a future-proof mortgage process that is simpler, faster and more customer-friendly,’ says Matthijs Hofstede, director of mortgages at a.s.r. ‘I am very pleased that the migration has been successful. Not only because we have met the ambitious timeline we set three years ago, but above all because of how we achieved it: step by step, on time and together. This milestone also marks the end of an era, as we say goodbye to valued colleagues. Thanks to the tireless efforts of all our employees, I expect we will soon be back to normal processing times. I would like to thank our advisers and customers for their understanding and patience.’
‘With the addition of the existing Aegon mortgages to our platform, we are taking the next important step in servicing the full a.s.r. mortgage portfolio,’ adds Mario Menheere, managing director of Stater Nederland. ‘Our experience with large, complex migrations has once again delivered a successful outcome.’
Until mid-2026, these mortgages will continue to carry the Aegon label. After that, the ultimate goal is full integration into a.s.r. mortgages.

Importance of funeral insurance recognised by young adults, but remains off-topic
Young people do value funeral insurance, similar to older generations, but they rarely talk about it. This is evident from a representative study by a.s.r. among 1,250 Dutch people aged 18 to 80. 6 in 10 Dutch people consider funeral insurance a relevant product, with the prevention of unexpected costs for surviving relatives cited as the main reason. Savings are most frequently mentioned as an alternative by those who choose not to take out funeral insurance. -

a.s.r. successful in supporting people distanced from the labour market
a.s.r. has once again achieved Step 1 on the Social Enterprise Performance Ladder (PSO), a national certification that promotes socially responsible entrepreneurship. This means that for both 2025 and 2026, a.s.r. remains the only insurer in the Netherlands to hold this highest distinction. On average, a.s.r. employs more people with a distance to the labour market than organisations of similar size.
