Public Sector

PUBLIC SECTOR

Our Public sector insurance products are highly specialised and designed to manage risks and lower costs unique to public entities, such as local governments, education organisations, blue light emergency services among others. Mmela Financial Services Insurance has been providing bespoke insurance solutions with an exemplary service record for almost 2 decades.

Public sector entities feel the pressure of operating within tight budget constraints while providing communities and employees with service that meet their expectations. We understand these obstacles and, more importantly, we are familiar with the unique culture and environment that exists in this type of organisation. We work with municipalities, public works facilities, educational institutions and other public sector organisations to develop risk management programmes that help reduce cost and allow the allocation of funds to projects that directly benefit the community.

Performance Bonds & Guarantees

These are guarantees that typically cater for industries such as freight forwarding, clearing and logistics. Such guarantees include:

  • Transnet Guarantees (Transnet Freight Rail (TFR), Portnet)
  • Customs Guarantees (Deferred Duty & VAT, Bonded Warehouse, Road, Temporary Import, customs rebate, manufacturer of excisable product)
  • Commercial Fuel Guarantees to Fuel Majors
  • Airline Guarantees

Some of the major benefits of the Insurance backed guarantee are:

  • Provides the employer/supplier comfort against non-performance of contractual obligations and therefore increased costs of completion or non-payment.
  • Provides the client with increased cash flow and working capital.
  • Protects the client against non-payment of retained funds in the absence of a guarantee, should the employer not be in a position to make payment.

Cell Captives / Alternate Risk Transfer

Conventional insurance, but with the added benefit of allowing the client to share in underwriting profits.

A contingency policy is a conventional policy which provides the protection of conventional insurance, but with the added benefit of allowing the client to share in underwriting profits based on favourable claims experience and implementation of sound risk management principles.

Self insurance solution structures through First party Cell Captive vehicles, with funded attritional loss layers and the purchase of reinsurance solutions for catastrophic losses.
