State Insurance Company expands sales points to post offices

The State Insurance Company (SIC) and the Ghana Post Company (GP) on Tuesday announced a collaborative effort through which customers could renew their Motor Insurance Cover in various Post Offices in the country.

Under the deal prospective customers can pay their premium and pick up their completed motor insurance certificates and stickers at the designated Post Offices in three days. The pilot phase of the project, which will be launched later this month, would be in some Post Offices in Accra, Tema, Kumasi and Sekondi-Takoradi.

At a joint press conference in Accra to announce the partnership, the Head of Information Systems Division of SIC, Mr Romeo Bugyei said the move was part of the company's efforts to refocus and bring its activities closer to its clientele.

He said SIC would tap the network of branches of GP across the country to bring its services to the clients and save them the frustrations they had to go through to renew their Insurance covers.

Mr Kojo Safo, General Manager Planning and Projects, Ghana Post, said they have put in place adequate security measures to ensure that those certificates and stickers that would be posted get to their rightful owners.

Mr Samuel Adu Boafo, General Manager, Operations said GP's past experience from similar alliances with other companies would guide its partnership with SIC to their mutual benefit.
