First of all, I think you’ll agree with me when I say;
It’s really hard to find a reputable insurance company in Ghana that can serve your needs and not only focus on the premium you pay them, right? The same is applicable in Kenya
However, even though not so easy, you can still have a handful of the best insurance companies in Ghana that puts you first.
In this guide, we have listed the top 10 insurance companies in Ghana.
Our criteria for choosing them are based on;
- Customer review (how satisfied were their customers)
- Their online presence, (they must have a genuine website)
- And, how user-friendly their website is.
However, when you choose a company from our list, you can still ask your financial advisor or your close relation, or even a broker in Ghana if it is right for you.
Before we go deep into these insurance companies, let’s learn what they really do.
What Insurance Companies In Ghana Do
An insurance company offers the policyholder investment security, in case of an uncertain event like an accident, theft, death, or disablement.
Further, the policyholder has to pay a monthly or annual small fee known as a premium to make sure these benefits are paid by the insurer.
A policyholder is a customer (which could be you) who purchases an insurance policy from an insurer (insurance company).
