WHO ARE WE?

MiWay is a licenced non-life insurer and financial services provider, offering customers a range of non-life insurance products including motor, household, homeowners and business insurance.

Launched in 2008, MiWay Insurance is the first South African-based direct insurance company to offer the purchase and administration of short-term insurance policies online.
At MiWay, our purpose is to enable people to live their way. We understand that life is not just about “things” but the meaning that those things bring to your life. We believe that technology and innovation have infinite possibilities when it’s inspired by humans by you.
Therefore, we focus on our clients’ needs; finding new ways to simplify their lives and how they do things.
We give them products, services, and solutions that enable them to live and enjoy life on their own terms – in their own way.
