The partnership will have an initial focus on Motor Third Party Insurance, which is a statutory policy within Uganda, but will in the long run also take on other personal product lines such as Travel Insurance and Domestic Packages in the future.

The Britam group has already seen success in its digitization efforts with parent company Britam Holdings generating KES Sh1.4 billion (UGX 150bn) in new business though revamped digital channels after the 2020 Covid-19 outbreak.

As a result of this progressive investment in this business process management software, Britam Insurance have been able to positively navigate the effects of the pandemic with robust business continuity.

“Our strategic formula is based on customer experience and this is why we are committed to multi-channel distribution to increase accessibility and choice. We are working with long-term partners such as MTN Mobile Money Uganda Ltd who share our digital first vision and approach to customer service and are looking forward to our customers benefiting from this”, said the Britam CEO Mr. Allan Mafabi who was speaking at the launch.
