Absa iDirect Limited Absa idirect was launched in 2008 as the direct personal lines short term insurer for Absa Financial Services (AFS); direct insurance meaning that the insurance product/s on offer to the customer is underwritten and administered directly by the underwriter and no broker or intermediary commissions are paid. Absa idirect is an authorised financial services provider and together with Absa Insurance Company, form the complete Absa Insurance cluster in AFS. Absa idirect is currently the biggest direct insurer in the bancassurance space, with new business acquired through the bank assurance model, leveraging from leads supplied by the group. Our focus is also on digital advertising and the motor dealer network as additional lead streams. Absa idirect’s competitive edge stems from being a bancassurer and its association with Barclays Africa (and the Absa brand), which is unique in the direct insurance industry
Absa iDirect Limited We target customers in the core and middle market, but also have a number of private bank customers who prefer to use a direct channel, as opposed to the traditional advisor channel. It also recently launched the offering via Absa online, a first in the banking industry, where customers can purchase short term insurance in a secure environment. Absa idirect offers a personal lines short term insurance product (motor and household insurance) through a call centre channel. Our products are sold and serviced by dedicated FAIS accredited Absa idirect agents, but the non- customer facing functions are shared with Absa Insurance in order to leverage best practice and eliminate duplication within the cluster. Absa idirect also has one of the best “cash back” benefit structures in the industry. Its offering is focussed on simplicity and “value for money”, with our products being aligned to what is on offer in the direct insurance industry.
