[BENGALURU] Westpac Banking Corp said on Wednesday it would sell its general insurance arm to German insurer Allianz for A$725 million (S$715.5 million), further trimming its portfolio to beef up capital and focus on core banking.

Australia's third-largest bank also said it would sign a 20-year exclusive agreement for Allianz to distribute general insurance products to Westpac customers.
