History
Lombard Insurance Company Ltd was registered in 1990 as a specialist Short Term Insurance Company operating in the surety and guarantee market. The Hollard Insurance Company (South Africa’s largest privately owned insurance company) was the major shareholder then. Through great relationships with our reinsurers we were able to diversify our product offering and in 2000 our Trade Credit insurance division was established, followed by our Trade Finance and Mining Rehabilitation guarantees divisions. In 2007, a diversification strategy was initiated which has resulted in a number of equity partnerships being formed with specialist underwriting management agencies. A Life license was acquired in 2008 opening the doors to new markets. In 2014, an Africa strategy was developed as we increase our footprint over Sub-Saharan Africa.
