Activa launches online insurance system

Activa International Insurance Ghana (AIIG) is introducing an online insurance system comprised of an online portal, a USSD Code (*713*313#) and an app to allow shoppers to purchase auto, travel, home and personal accident insurance.

“Customers can get quotes, purchase insurance, make payments online and receive insurance documentation at the click of a button with access to instant claims management service.”

The insurer also allows customers to access premium financing options.

Activa International started operations in Ghana as Global Alliance Insurance which was incorporated in January 2005 and licensed to write short term general insurance business by the National Insurance Commission. The parent company of Global Alliance was Global Alliance Holdings, a company incorporated in the Isle of Man with its head office in South Africa and sister companies in other south-eastern and southern African countries such as Angola, Botswana and Mozambique.

Global Alliance climbed to the 9th position (out of 23 companies) in the Ghanaian insurance industry within four years of operation (2008).

In April 2009, Global Alliance Insurance was fully acquired by ACTIVA Assurances, a Pan-African Insurer and the originator of the Globus Network.

Today, Activa International Insurance Company (Ghana) Limited is the 7th largest insurance company by premium income out of 29 licensed non-life insurance companies in Ghana. The company was adjudged the Best Insurance Company in Ghana by the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI 2014 Awards).
