Repatriation Benefit
Bringing loved ones home, when it matters most.
If a member passes away more than 100km from where they need to be buried, our repatriation benefit brings them home.
What repatriation covers
Repatriation means transporting a member's body back to where they need to be buried when they've passed away more than 100km from that place. It's a specific benefit — not general transport — and it applies across seven countries.

Important to know
The repatriation benefit is provided by a separate service provider and is not underwritten by Safrican Insurance Company Limited, so it is not regulated under the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act in the same way as your insurance policy. The benefit is already included in the monthly premium you pay — there is no additional or separate charge collected from you for it.
Claim turnaround time is 48 hours once all required documents are submitted by the client.
