When an insurance product is "underwritten" by a company, that company is the risk carrier - the entity legally obligated to pay valid claims. Our underwriting partner is not just a brand name we use for marketing: they are the actual insurer behind every SettleMyBond policy.
SettleMyBond acts as the distribution and administration partner - we handle your quote, policy setup and customer service. But when you claim, our underwriting partner assesses and pays the claim, subject to your policy terms.
"Your policy is a contract with a leading AA+-rated, bluechip South African insurer - one of the most financially sound insurers in South Africa. Your claims are guaranteed by their balance sheet, not just a promise."
Our underwriting partner is one of the largest financial services companies on the African continent. Their solvency ratio far exceeds regulatory minimums, meaning your claim will be paid even in adverse market conditions.
Our underwriting partner is licensed by both the FSCA (Financial Sector Conduct Authority) and the Prudential Authority. They must comply with the Insurance Act (18 of 2017) and undergo regular independent audits.
With more than a century of history in South Africa, our underwriting partner has paid claims through recessions, pandemics and market crashes. That track record is your assurance that they'll still be around when your family needs them most.
Our underwriting partner's underwriting standards are applied consistently to every SettleMyBond policy. Your policy schedule clearly states what is covered, what is excluded, and exactly how claims are assessed - no hidden conditions.

Yes. A leading AA+-rated South African insurer (SA) Ltd is licensed and regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) and the Prudential Authority, meeting strict solvency, conduct and claims-payment requirements.
As a registered long-term insurer, our underwriting partner must maintain sufficient capital reserves to pay all claims. The Prudential Authority monitors this continuously. Our underwriting partner's financial strength makes insolvency extremely unlikely, and the regulatory framework provides policyholder protection in any scenario.
