Safety ideas

South Africa, let’s start thinking about innovative solutions for a safer future

Simple, smart ideas have the power to improve the lives of South Africans. At Santam we believe that’s what Insurance Good and Proper means - not only being there for our clients when something goes wrong, but by also offering solutions that will help prevent it from happening in the first place.

We believe you have the power to  do just that.

Do you have a one-of-a-kind FinTech or InsurTech business venture brewing? Or are you a University student with a big imagination and some fresh ideas? We want to know about it so we can make it a reality. If you need some inspiration to get you started, take a look at two previous ideas: The Jammer Scammer and Roam Alert.
