What does Prosperity Life Insurance offer?

Low-cost insurance cover for life, dread disease, and disability.
Accidental death cover.
An additional Family Income plan.
Life insurance premiums fixed for five years from the date of inception.
Assupol On-Call is free of charge.

This is the first ever black-owned company offering life insurance in South Africa. It started out in 1951 when a group of businessmen in the Transkei wanted to provide coverage for black people that was affordable.

This proved so successful that Assupol acquired the company in 2004 and, since then, it has made a name for itself as one of the top providers of affordable funeral insurance.

Prosperity Funeral Cover

Prosperity The Excellence Family Funeral Plan will cover you, your spouse, your parents, your children and any family members that are dependents.

Prosperity makes a cash payment if the primary policyholder dies.
Members are able to select a cash-back benefit as well, if they like.
Assupol On-Call is available at no extra charge. This includes telephonic tutor and financial advisory services, transportation of the body and hospital admission.
Where death is as a result of an accident, the company pays an additional lump sum.
You can select the Family income Option to ensure that the family has a regular income after the death of the primary member. The sum paid out will be a maximum of 10% of the benefit for the main member, paid monthly over six months.
Should the main member die, the company will extend cover in terms of the Accidental Death Benefit and the Funeral Benefit for the remaining members for a total of five years.
