About Bidvest Life
Bidvest Life is a leading life insurer dedicated to safeguarding the financial stability of working South Africans. Through a comprehensive range of income protection, disability, critical illness, and life cover options, the company ensures that individuals and their families remain financially secure in the face of injury, illness, or death. Unlike traditional insurers that focus solely on lump-sum payouts, Bidvest Life pioneered the concept of providing insurance benefits as a monthly income, offering a more practical and sustainable approach to financial protection.

Originally founded as FMI in 1995, the company has always embraced an entrepreneurial spirit, breaking industry norms by extending income protection to business owners and self-employed individuals—markets previously underserved by traditional insurers. In 2016, FMI became part of the Bidvest Financial Services group, solidifying its position as an industry innovator. Today, Bidvest Life remains committed to its core belief that income protection should be a top priority, standing by policyholders with reliable financial support when life takes an unexpected turn.
