PinnAfrica was established in 1997 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pinnacle Insurance, a UK based insurance company. Pinnacle Insurance forms part of the BNP Baribas Group of companies which is based in France. From the onset, PinnAfrica chose to specialise in consumer credit insurance. Early in 2009, the company was bought by Lombard Insurance. The Lombard group thus acquired PinnAfrica’s life insurance trading license. PinnAfrica then became underwriters for Lombard Insurance and Lombard Life.
Today, PinnAfrica primarily focuses on providing insurance services for banks, consumer retail lenders, motor retailers and other major credit providers. Their valued clients include:
- Standard Bank
- Nedbank
- BB Auto
- Salesure
- Unitrans Motors
- Southern Motor Holdings
- BMW Financial Services
Since PinnAfrica specialises in the credit insurance market, their products often cover one or a combination of life, disability, death, retrenchment, sickness and credit shortfall. Due to the diversity of this market, a number of generic products have emerged, namely:
- Banks, covering mortgages, overdrafts, credit cards and loans
- Funeral cover
- Telesales
- Retail cover for HP and in-store credit
- Specialised credit providers, covering revolving and fixed term credit and other specialised credit
- Vehicle financing cover including credit shortfall and leasing
