About OUTsurance

OUTsurance is dedicated to service excellence and makes a point to go out of their way to exceed their customer’s expectations.

One of the biggest fish in the sea

OUTsurance, which is a division of Rand Merchant Investment Holdings, is one of the country’s largest and most reliable insurance companies.

Their size means that they’re financially stable meaning you’re in good hands. They’re able to provide affordable insurance and innovative products since they’re leading the market.

Big on enterprise development

The businesses that they select are able to access loans and grants, business mentorship, and specialist intervention to provide them with the best possible chance for stability, growth, and long-term success.

The pioneers of the cash-back model

OUTsurance was the force behind the introduction of the cashback for no claims model. While the concept has gained momentum with other insurers no one does it as much and as often as OUTsurance. They pay out around R350 million in cashback bonuses every year now that’s something don’t you think?
