Working at tih

We don’t just follow the industry, we lead it.

For over 40 years, we’ve been groundbreakers, growing from our South African roots to operating in six countries and serving more than 10 million customers.

When the industry said “impossible” we said, “watch us.”

We were the first to introduce telephonic insurance, the first to use scientific risk rating for premiums, and the pioneers of direct life insurance.

From launching insurance specifically designed for women to developing the first smartphone app with crash detection – we have always been at the forefront of “firsts.”

This innovation is fuelled by an energy we call Unstoppable.

As one undivided team, we move the needle through infectious optimism – unlocking potential by refusing to compromise on doing things right.

We don’t just sell insurance, we sell a promise of peace of mind – a commitment we make to every customer and TIH employee.  

It’s a promise that we believe can make South Africa a prosperous place for all.
