'Hola' Hollard

We might be South Africa's largest privately-owned insurance group with expertise in everything from short-term and life insurance to investments, but what truly defines Hollard Insurance is our dedicated, purpose-driven Hollardites. As a Pan-African insurance company, we believe in making a difference on the continent and beyond. For us, doing good is just as important as doing good business.
 

Who we are

A brief history of how we got here

Born in the 80s, we’re an African insurer with a heart that beats for the continent. We’re Mzansi’s largest privately-owned insurance group, serving nearly 4 million policyholders, and that’s just the beginning. Individuals, families and small to large businesses all trust us with their financial well-being.

From life insurance and investments to short-term cover, we’re all about providing peace of mind so our customers can live life to the fullest. Our family of over 3,500 Hollardites spans ten countries and are all united by a shared purpose: to enable more people to create and secure a better future.

Hollard Insurance Group's Pan-African journey

Since 1980, Hollard has been on a mission to find a better way to do insurance.

Today, we are one of Africa's leading insurance groups, helping people and businesses navigate uncertainty with greater confidence through innovative insurance solutions, trusted partnerships and a strong commitment to creating better futures.

For more than four decades, we've worked alongside individuals, families, entrepreneurs and businesses to provide insurance products and risk management solutions that help protect what matters most, while enabling growth and opportunity.

A leading Pan-African insurance provider

Through Hollard International (HINT), Hollard serves customers across Africa, with operations in Mozambique, Namibia, Botswana, Ghana, Zambia, Lesotho, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.

Across these markets, we offer a broad range of short-term insurance, long-term insurance and business insurance solutions designed to meet the unique needs of individuals and organisations. Our local expertise is strengthened by the global backing of Tokio Marine, one of the world's largest and most established insurance groups.

Together, we combine African insight with international experience to help customers and businesses face uncertainty with greater assurance.

Helping people and businesses Be More Sure

The world is changing rapidly. Businesses face evolving risks, market shifts and economic uncertainty. Individuals navigate life's milestones, unexpected events and important financial decisions.

At Hollard, we believe insurance should do more than provide protection. It should give people the confidence to move forward.

That's the thinking behind our brand platform “Searching for certainty?”

By supporting our intermediary partners with enhanced tools, expertise and solutions, we are committed to helping customers make more informed decisions, better manage risk and feel more certain about the opportunities ahead.

Insurance for an uncertain world

Uncertainty is part of life and business. Whether you're growing a company, protecting your assets, planning for your family's future or expanding into new markets, there will always be unknowns.

Rather than focusing on fear, we believe insurance can be a powerful enabler of confidence, resilience and progress.

Our approach is rooted in helping people and businesses navigate uncertainty with greater confidence, supported by insurance solutions that are accessible, relevant and designed for real-world needs.

With Hollard, customers gain more than cover. They gain a partner committed to helping them manage risk, seize opportunities and build better futures.

Because while uncertainty may be inevitable, having the right insurance partner can help you Be More Sure when it matters most.
