FMI Co Information

Your greatest asset is your ability to earn an income. FMI protects your future dreams by offering a complete suite of life insurance products including temporary and long-term Disability, Critical Illness and Life cover. We have a unique approach to life insurance, which is ‘Life, done better.’ We believe that your greatest asset is your ability to earn an income and that all insurance benefits should be designed to protect this. And the best way is with a life insurance product that provides you with a regular monthly income rather than the traditional lump sum payout approach. At FMI, we protect your future hopes and dreams. It’s listening to real people’s life stories that inspire us and help us to continually improve our products and to develop new ones to meet individual needs. Our business is built on being able to step in when a person’s life is affected by illness, injury or death, by providing an income when they are unable to work. That means every time we pay a claim we are helping someone provide for their family and keep their business open. We protect risk takers, entrepreneurs, breadwinners and home makers – ordinary people doing extra-ordinary things. 1995: FMI pioneered income protection for the self-employed, at a time when the industry only offered cover to professionals. 2017: We remain committed to creating products that protect you and your family from the risk of not being able to earn an income. Our personalised service goes above and beyond. We celebrate paying claims because we see it as an opportunity to deliver on our promise and to support our clients’ plans and dreams, now and in their future. Our unique approach to life insurance offers a number of advantages: 1) easier to understand because our income benefits match the salary stream you are trying to replace; 2) often significantly cheaper than the traditional product; and 3) we are able to pay claims much quicker than anyone else because of our personal touch and market-leading claims criteria. We are Proudly Bidvest and a division of Bidvest Life. FMI is now part of the broader Bidvest Group Limited, one of the largest companies on the JSE. This allows us to take advantage of the economic efficiencies and opportunities that come with being part of a large group, especially one like Bidvest, while still retaining our entrepreneurial spirit that we hold at FMI.
