Understanding Insurance in Ghana: Life vs. General (Non-Life)
Under the Insurance Act of Ghana enforced by the National Insurance Commission (NIC), composite insurers are strictly prohibited from mixing balance sheets. Life assurance funds cannot be pooled with vehicle or property risk. That is why licensed underwriters operate as distinct legal sister institutions.
Life Assurance (NIC/LF)
Protects human life, health, and longevity. Covers funeral benefits, term life, whole life, child education endowments, and retirement annuities.
General / Non-Life (NIC/NL)
Protects tangible assets and liabilities against physical damage, fire, or theft. Covers motor vehicles, residential properties, commercial cargo, and marine transit.
