Continental Reinsurance

Continental Reinsurance is a world class Pan-African service reinsurer offering a full suite of non-life and life reinsurance products. With a history spanning more than 30 years, we pride ourselves on being the ‘torch bearer’ of the African Reinsurance sector, developing an extensive network of offices to reach our clients across Africa. From our Nigerian base, we have grown a diversified Pan-African portfolio, adding value wherever we go, and developing enduring partnerships premised on our brand promise 'pan-African commitment made local'. Continental Reinsurance Plc was incorporated in 1985 starting business as a private reinsurance company in Nigeria. From January 1987, we began operating as a general reinsurer and then became a composite reinsurer in January 1990, offering both treaty and facultative Life and Non-Life reinsurance, with a well-diversified business mix and customer base. We now have six client service centres in Nigeria, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Kenya, Tunisia and Botswana. In addition, we recently opened a new specialist subsidiary, Continental Property and Engineering Risk Services (Pty) Ltd, registered in South Africa.
