Our history

Prior to becoming a member of the Sanlam Group in 2017, the former Sanlam Life Insurance Ghana had operated in Ghana under several identities starting out as a composite company, Beacon Insurance Ghana, which later rebranded to Colina Insurance Ghana in 2010. In April 2014, it started operating as Saham Life Insurance Ghana LTD under the ownership of Saham Finances, a Moroccan Insurance Giant, before adopting the Sanlam brand in 2022.

In December 2017, Allianz started its life insurance operations in Ghana with an official launch on 24 May 2018. The company has been offering a wide range of products for retail, SME and corporate customers, including Pure Life Insurance, Credit Life, Funeral, Education, Savings and Investments. It has also been offering micro-insurance products for that segment of the population.

In July 2024, Sanlam Life Insurance Ghana Ltd and Allianz Life Insurance Ghana LTD joined forces and rebranded to Sanlam Allianz Life Insurance Ghana LTD. The new, integrated company is now part of SanlamAllianz – a joint venture between Sanlam, the largest non-banking financial services company in Africa, and Allianz, one of the world’s leading insurers and asset managers with more than a century of history in Africa.
