Naked does not work, think or make money the way traditional insurers do.
Often to get something right, our head and heart need to work together.
Naked’s revolutionary business model does just that, and in doing so, breaks the age-old cycle of distrust between insurers and their customers.
Unlike other insurance, we charge a fixed percentage of your premiums to do everything. No hidden fees or hidden agendas (that’s why we’re called Naked!). Our flat fee means that our income doesn’t depend on how much we pay out in claims, so we have no reason to make claiming difficult.
When claims are low, premiums left over at the end of the year go to causes you care about, supporting positive change in South African communities, rather than growing insurance company profits.
That’s the Naked Difference and it changes everything about insurance.
