Claims

Claims time is crunch time. It's when we sit up and sort it out. It's when we knuckle down. Thats' what you can expect when you deal with South Africa's leading short-term insurer who has a team of experts capable of handling even the most specialised claim.We look for reasons to pay you, rather than not. Because that's what proper insurance should do.
