LICENCE TO CONDUCT LIFE INSURANCE BUSINESS IN SOUTH AFRICA

The Board of Capitec is pleased to announce that the
Prudential Authority has granted Capitec a licence to conduct
life insurance business in South Africa.

Capitec has been offering credit life and funeral policies
through two cell captive agreements with the underlying
policies underwritten by licensed cell captive insurers.

Proposed changes to the third-party cell captive regulations
and strong growth in the number of insured clients prompted
Capitec to apply for its own life insurance licence. The
Prudential Authority approved Capitec’s application for a
licence to conduct life insurance business in South Africa on
3 October 2022. The licence has been granted to Capitec Life,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capitec.

Capitec Life will, in due course, replace the current cell
captive insurers as underwriter of Capitec’s credit life and
funeral policies.

Capitec remains committed to ensuring that its clients
continue to enjoy the simple, affordable, accessible and
personalised experience to which they are accustomed.
