Who We Are
Telesure Investment Holdings (Pty) Ltd (TIH), is the holding company of some of South Africa’s leading financial service providers. Our portfolio includes short-term insurers, a long-term insurer, health insurance as well as an insurance and personal finance comparison platform.

We have since grown into a group of subsidiaries that includes some of South Africa’s most loved and recognisable brands, each finding a better way to give their unique group of customers’ peace of mind. That’s why we exist - to continuously find better ways to give people peace of mind, whether it is to protect what they own, their loved ones or their greater ambitions and life plans they’re working so hard for. We’re pioneers with a hunger for best, bringing customer-focused innovation and service excellence to the financial services industry.
