Jumia will leverage its technology and network to provide an efficient platform for Ghanaians to purchase Hollard’s general and life insurance products.

As seen over the past few years, we have provided Ghanaians with an efficient platform to buy essential products, pay for their goods and services, purchase food from their favourite restaurants and have all their items delivered in a safe, convenient manner.

Hollard Ghana is known for its innovation and commitment to making insurance more accessible. Group CEO, Patience Akyianu said “This partnership speaks to our drive towards a better future for all.

It is embedded in our business purpose to seek partnerships and alternative distribution methods that help us achieve our purpose to enable more people to create and secure a better future.

In the last year COVID has driven a spike in digital usage as Ghanaians have become accustomed to digital services to the point of expecting companies to provide accessible and on-demand products.

Working with Jumia will enable us to do just that; provide valuable general and life insurance cover at the simple click of a button. We are on a charge to use Jumia’s e-Commerce solution with its secure platform, real-time visibility and technology integration, to increase penetration and make insurance a lifestyle.”
