A great insurer for our requirements

We are a mid-sized SME who had to reduce our budget last year and AES were very helpful in presenting and advising us towards NLGIC.

The insurer was able to match our previous benefits almost exactly as they were before and they are now much more cost effective.

There have been a few issues with the turnaround times for some of our members but they have actually been within the stated turnaround times of NLGIC.

Overall they are a great insurance provider for the premium we paid.

Expert Assessment of National Life and General Insurance Co

When reviewing the local market of insurers, NLGIC are currently one of our favoured insurers. The all-around flexibility that they offer is great to work with and very helpful when trying to meet a client's specific requirements.

They offer “off the shelf” policies, as well as plans that can be tailored. We are also able to choose from 3 different TPAs for these policies. The management team are all well experienced and helpful with us and their clients.

Like most local insurers, NLGIC follow a very bureaucratic process where the documentation can be excessive and cause certain delays and issues. Their quotations and documents often have to be double checked before they are sent as they are known to sometimes include small mistakes.

We are confident about NLGIC being financially robust as they have been in the industry for a long time and are a subsidiary of OMNIVEST. As they grow and succeed they only gain more of our trust.
