Santam is the leading short-term insurer in South Africa, with a market share exceeding 22%. Our broad range of insurance solutions spans all areas of general insurance, encompassing personal, commercial, agricultural, and specialist markets, offered through a network of 2,700 intermediaries and direct channels.
We have been offering insurance for over 107 years, and in this time, we have made it our business to understand what is important to our clients and the risks they face. Our deep-rooted industry expertise, coupled with unmatched levels of technical knowledge and skills, enables us to help our clients understand and manage risks.
When the unfortunate happens, we are there for our clients 24/7 and can put them in the same position they were before any loss occurred, paying out more claims than any other insurer. At Santam, we believe that insurance has no value if clients cannot trust their insurer to be there in their hour of need.
As such, in 2024, we paid out claims to the value of R28.8 billion to businesses and individuals. We believe that insurance has no value if clients cannot trust their insurer to be there in their hour of need. This has been our philosophy since we first opened our doors on 1 May 1918.
Santam is an authorised financial services provider (FSP 3416), a licensed non-life insurer and controlling company for its group companies.
