Econorisk Celebrates 25 Years of Insurance Excellence
A Legacy of Trust, Expertise and Risk Management in South Africa
Reaching a 25th anniversary is more than just a milestone; it is a testament to resilience, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to our clients. In 2026, Econorisk officially celebrates 25 years as a leading brokerage in the South African short-term insurance sector.
Since our inception in 2001 to reaching the incredible milestone of R1 billion in annual premiums, our journey has been defined by a passion for risk management and a dedication to providing peace of mind to policyholders across the country.
A National Leader with Deep Local Roots
Econorisk has grown into one of the largest insurance and risk assessment brokerages in South Africa. While our reach is national, our service remains personal. With physical offices in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban, we are strategically positioned to support our diverse client base.
Accredited and Trusted
As an Authorised Financial Services Provider (FSP) accredited by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) and a proud member of the Financial Intermediaries Association (FIA), we operate with the highest standards of integrity. Our Professional Indemnity Insurance significantly exceeds the minimum requirements set by the FSCA, ensuring our clients are always protected by a stable and secure partner.
The Luxury of Choice
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. By holding binder agreements with top A-rated insurers and working with over 80 Underwriting Management Agencies (UMAs), we provide an unparalleled range of options.
"At Econorisk, we offer our clients the luxury of insurance choice. Through our extensive range of partners, we ensure that every client finds the perfect fit for their specific risk profile"
Specialists in Comprehensive Risk Management
Whether it is a complex commercial portfolio or a cherished personal asset, Econorisk specialises in tailored insurance solutions. Our expertise spans the full spectrum of short-term insurance, backed by industry-recognised skill. Our commitment to quality has earned us several accolades, including our latest CIB Top 5 Broker Award.
Our culture is also deeply rooted in the spirit of South Africa. Our Rivonia office proudly hosts an iMadiba installation, a micro-museum that celebrates the legacy of Nelson Mandela and serves as a constant reminder of the values of leadership and humanity.
Our People: The "Superheroes" Behind the R1 Billion Milestone
Our success is built on the foundation of our 150+ qualified staff members. From Underwriting and Finance to Sales, IT, HR, and Compliance, every individual plays a vital role in our collective achievements.
We understand that an insurance policy is only as good as the claim it pays. Econorisk boasts an internally mandated claims team which is dedicated to the prompt and proactive settlement of every valid claim.
"The claims process is one of the most critical touchpoints between a policyholder and our business. It is the moment of truth where we ensure we deliver on the policy’s promises when our clients need us most"
A Culture of Growth and Values
We refer to our team as “Superheroes” because of their dedication. To support them, we offer:
- Comprehensive Benefits: Including medical aid and provident funds.
- Wellness Support: Free employee support services through Kaelo and Ask Nelson.
- Professional Development: Strict focus on compliance and CPD (Continuous Professional Development) for all Key Individuals and Representatives.
- Core Values: We are guided by Respect, Inclusion, Accountability, Calibre, and Purpose.
