Client stories

Trusted where it matters

★★★★★
Instive insured a parcel of certified stones from Kampala to Antwerp when three other insurers declined. The transit certificate was with our courier the same afternoon.
DKDavid K.Gemstone dealer, Kampala
★★★★★
Our lender required a performance bond within ten days or the facility lapsed. Instive's underwriting desk structured it in six. The project broke ground on schedule.
SNSarah N.Director, infrastructure developer
★★★★★
When our warehouse flooded, the claim was assessed in two days and settled inside the week. That's the difference between a policy and a partner.
