The National Insurance Claims Society or NICS, was formally launched on 15 December 1998 by the honorable President of NIAM, Y.M. Tunku Ya’acob Bin Tunku Abdullah.

NICS was formed out of the need to develop practical improvements for streamlining the claims process in a way that would benefit member companies. Thus, the Society was formed to look into the claims service and claims staff recognition issues.
