Our verdict

Swaziland Building Society is a local broker selling auto, home, life and motorcycle cover to people who want a Swaziland provider with a familiar name. Funeral cover starts at SZL 25.50 a month and entry runs to a mature age, so it suits families planning ahead rather than bargain hunters.

Who it suits

  • Families in Swaziland arranging cover for parents and older relatives
  • Drivers and motorcyclists wanting local cover handled through a familiar brand
  • Homeowners bundling buildings and contents with other personal policies

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone wanting a health, travel or pet policy, since auto, home and life covers only auto, home, life and motorcycle
  • People who want to deal with a direct insurer rather than a broker, because broker says otherwise
  • Readers living outside the country, since the operation is based in Eswatini

Frequently asked questions

How much does cover start at?+

Funeral cover starts at SZL 25.50 a month, which is a low entry point for a policy most households only think about later. The price is set monthly, so it fits alongside monthly bills rather than a yearly commitment.

Who can take out the funeral policy?+

Entry runs to a genuine upper age limit, and children are covered into young adulthood, so parents can place a policy on a child and keep it into adult life. The stated range covers adults to a set age, with a longer term for children who are still studying.

What does the funeral benefit pay out?+

The cover limit is E50 000, a fixed sum that sets the ceiling on any payout. Households needing a larger burial cost would need to check whether a higher amount can be arranged.

Is this an insurer or a broker?+

Swaziland Building Society is a broker, as broker shows, so it arranges the cover rather than carrying the risk itself. It acts as a registered corporate insurance agent of the Swaziland Royal Insurance Corporation under the country's Insurance Act.

What kinds of insurance does it sell?+

The personal range is auto, home, life and motorcycle, listed together in auto, home and life. That covers the main household needs, though health, travel and pet policies are not part of what this broker sells.

How do I get help when I have a policy?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, meaning email, phone and a help centre. For a claim or a question part-way through a policy, the phone line is the quickest of those listed, and email suits paperwork you want a record of.

Can I pay monthly instead of yearly?+

Yes, monthly payments are available and monthly confirms the monthly model is the one offered. That spreads the cost of the funeral policy across the year rather than settling it in a single payment.
