About OUTsurance
OUTsurance is a South African insurance company that was established in February 1998 by Willem Roos, Howard Aron and René Otto. The company initially focused on providing car and household insurance directly to South African consumers. Since its establishment, OUTsurance has expanded its operations and product range, becoming a recognised name in the country’s insurance industry. Its business approach focuses on offering value-for-money insurance products, customer service and innovative solutions.
OUTsurance provides a range of insurance products designed to meet the needs of individuals, families and businesses. Its offerings include car insurance, home and building insurance, household contents cover, life insurance, funeral cover and pet insurance. The company also provides business insurance solutions, including cover for commercial vehicles, business equipment, liability and other business-related risks. Customers can explore different insurance options depending on their circumstances and the type of protection they require.
One of OUTsurance’s most recognisable features is its OUTbonus, a reward system that gives qualifying customers cash back when they remain claim-free in accordance with the applicable policy conditions. The company introduced this concept as part of its effort to differentiate itself from traditional insurance offerings. OUTsurance also uses digital platforms and technology to make it easier for customers to obtain quotes, manage policies, submit claims and access selected services. These initiatives support its focus on convenience and customer experience.
OUTsurance offers career opportunities for people interested in working in the financial services and insurance industries. Depending on its recruitment requirements, vacancies may be available in areas such as customer service, sales, claims management, finance, information technology, administration, marketing, human resources and business operations. The company highlights employee development, performance recognition and workplace culture as important aspects of its employment environment. Graduates, experienced professionals and other job seekers can check the official careers portal for available positions and specific application requirements.
Beyond its insurance operations, OUTsurance participates in community development initiatives through programmes such as Staff Helping SA OUT and the OUTsurance Pointsmen Project.
