InsuranceFundi was inspired by a couple of Financial Advisors who desperately wanted to help South African consumers make informed insurance & investment decisions.
In the last decade, the blog has gained massive popularity and cemented itself as one of the leading independent financial services websites in the country. With over 1 000 articles on the site and a reach of tens of thousands, the team at InsuranceFundi is dedicated, not only to educating people on insurance & investments but also to offering the best possible service to our clients & consumers alike.
