The concept of a one-stop shop has always been around since the early 1930s as a driver to customer satisfaction through efficiently providing many diverse services and products under one roof.

ZIB mirrors this concept through incorporating the concept in its business model of offering all classes of short-term insurance, employee benefits and risk management consultancy to its target market.

Providing tailor-made risk solutions to customers and exceeding stakeholders’ expectations through honesty, integrity, consistency and servitude, enables ZIB to cater for all insurance needs of large corporates, small to medium enterprises (regardless of the economic sector) and individuals.

ZIB has been a dedicated insurance broking firm for over 35 years, during which it has ensured that its clients receive value for their money.

This is achieved through superior customer service of speedy settlement of claims, ensuring that price remains competitive by scanning the market regularly, staying ahead of competitors through service delivery and the provision of risk management solutions.

The firm provides a diverse product range to meet the needs of all sectors of the economy spanning from assets/ property (fire and burglary).
