mTek: An Advocate for Insurance Accessibility

Founded with a clear vision, mTek is committed to ensuring everyone in Africa has access to insurance.

With an insurance penetration rate of less than 3%, the continent is home to a large number of people who are poorly served by traditional insurance models.

Under the direction of CEO Bente Krogmann, mTek uses technology to close this gap.

A digital Revolution in Insurance

mTek’s innovative platform works entirely online, offering a paperless ecosystem for insurance purposes.

Customers can conveniently access the platform through their smartphones or other devices, allowing them to:

Compare Insurance Policies: mTek makes it possible for users to compare different insurance products from various providers, which guarantees that they find the best coverage that is tailored to their needs.

Purchase Insurance Directly: no more tedious applications. mTek streamlines the insurance purchase journey, making it possible for users to get coverage directly from insurers with just a few clicks.

File Claims Efficiently: It can be very difficult to manage claims. mTek eases the process by allowing users to file claims directly through the platform, thereby ensuring a quicker and less cumbersome experience.

Increasing the Penetration of Insurance

The $1.25 million investment is going to be a big boost in mTek’s regional expansion strategy.

The company plans to use the funds for several key initiatives:

Market Expansion: With the help of the investment, mTek will be able to make a start in new East African countries, offering its user-friendly platform and innovative insurance solutions to more people.

Technology Advancement: Further development of the company’s digital platform will take place with the funding; they will integrate latest technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into personalizing user experience and offering more tailor-made insurance products.

With these resources, we are confident in making significant strides towards achieving our goal of providing accessible and efficient insurance solutions to millions of people across the region.”
