OnePath began its insurance journey over 130 years ago under the name Mercantile Mutual. It then became ING Direct, which was later taken over by ANZ. In December 2017, OnePath announced that it will be acquired by insurance specialist Zurich, in a deal scheduled for completion in late 2018. OnePath is expected to retain its trusted brand name and extensive product range.
