4. South African Insurance Crime Bureau (SAICB)

The South African Insurance Crime Bureau (SAICB) has been in existence for just over a year, and has in this time, already established itself as the go to organisation in the fight against insurance fraud and related crimes.

The main focus of the SAICB is to address organised fraud and crime in the short term insurance industry. The SAICB will also investigate repeat offenders, and fraudsters that target multiple insurance companies. We will not be replacing the internal fraud investigation units of the insurance companies but will be looking at fraud and crime being committed across the industry, and affecting multiple companies.

But this cannot be done in isolation as the insurance industry shares clients, intermediaries, sometimes service providers, and indeed criminals with other sectors in the financial industry. These industries include the broker fraternity, the life insurance industry, the medical schemes industry, the banks, and others. In fact, the ultimate aim of the SAICB is to create a joint initiative for the whole financial services industry and other related stakeholders, in whatever way is feasible.

The SAICB has 11 member companies, namely: Santam, Mutual & Federal, Hollard, Outsurance, Lion of Africa, Zurich, Standard Insurance, Absa Insurance, Regent, Telesure, and MiWay.
