"No two partnerships are the same. Each one is very specific and tailored for the needs of the partner. We don’t dictate; we listen to the partner, understand the customers they serve and come up with solutions that make sense."
Petunia Makgoro, Executive Head of Partnerships
"Insurance strengthens an existing ecosystem. It creates new fee-based income, increases customer stickiness and enhances the relevance of the core product. For customers, it delivers convenience, lower friction and more contextual solutions."
