The Prudential Authority of the South African Reserve Bank has granted JSE-listed Capitec Bank – through its wholly-owned subsidiary Capitec Life – the licence it needs to conduct a life insurance business in South Africa. In a Sens statement released on Tuesday, Capitec says the move to apply for the licence came after changes were proposed to third-party cell captive regulations as well as the strong growth in insured customer numbers.

According to Zurich Insurance Group, cell captive insurers are companies wholly-owned by non-insurers and act as direct insurers or reinsurers for a parent company and its subsidiaries.
