The inspiration behind the brand

David O'Brien, the founder and MD of Meerkat, established the company in 2016 after spending more than two decades developing products in a large insurance company. David's frustration with South Africa's low savings rate and restricted access to financial services led him to create Meerkat, which aims to "look out for you."

Reducing debt and boosting financial resilience for clients

Meerkat's core values are based on their enthusiasm for assisting clients in reducing their dependency on debt and developing financial resilience to handle emergencies.

The team is proud of their strong sense of belonging and respect for both their clients and themselves. They also prioritise integrity, development, and excellence in their products and services.

Meerkat is a brand-new insurance company that has just been introduced to the market.

It's designed to provide individuals and families with financial protection and support during those emotionally challenging times.

The cover offers a variety of benefits, such as a lump sum payout to cover funeral costs, access to grief counselling services, and assistance with funeral arrangements. Meerkat funeral cover aims to ease the burden of funeral expenses for those left behind, enabling families to grieve and heal without added financial stress.

How much cover can I get?

The amount of funeral cover will depend on the funeral policy you choose. Meerkat Insurers offer different levels of funeral cover, each with a specific sum assured. The sum assured is the amount that your beneficiaries will get upon your death.

Typically, Meerkat Insurers' funeral cover ranges from R5,000 up to a maximum of R50,000. Some policies may even offer a higher sum assured, depending on your age, health status, and the level of coverage you choose.

It's essential to consider your budget and the funeral expenses you anticipate to determine the appropriate sum assured you need.

When choosing a funeral policy with Meerkat, you should familiarise yourself with the terms and conditions - including the exclusions and waiting periods -to ensure that you are getting the right cover.
