Old Mutual Ltd (formerly UAP Insurance Group)

Company Overview

UAP Group is a pan-African Financial Services Group with interest in Insurance, Investment Management, Property Development and Investments, Securities Brokerage and Financial Advisory. Currently, UAP Group has (12) business operations in Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo and Tanzania which are market leaders in their respective fields. UAP is currently executing an ambitious pan-African growth and expansion strategy in order to extend its business into new geographical markets and to establish new business lines in high growth areas which complements its existing core business of insurance.

Our origins can be traced back over 80 years. The current company was formed in 1994 after the merger of Union Insurance and Provincial Insurance following the merger of their parent companies, UAP of France and Provincial of the UK. In 1996 we became part of AXA when AXA acquired UAP in France. AXA divested in the year 2000 and we became a Kenyan company. Since then, we have grown tremendously in volumes, assets and geographical expansion. Volumes have since tripled and net assets have grown more than five times.

Our customers are our inspiration and we seek to build life long relationships with them by offering relevant services that enhance their quality of life. We do so in a simple, friendly, efficient and inclusive way, giving them what they want, when and where they want it. In so doing, we are able to serve and empower our customers, ensuring their peace of mind and financial freedom.

We recognise that to achieve leadership we have to be revolutionary, customer focused and inclusive. We continuously innovate and set the pace for the market. Our vision requires us to provide leadership in the markets we serve. We have numerous achievements for which we have been recognized: we were the first company to be ISO 9001:2000 certified; we have achieved the highest credit rating, Global Credit Rating (AA+); we have been awarded the FiRe award for best presented accounts for seven consecutive years and we have been voted as the General Insurer of the year for the second year running.
