A Brief History of Knights Insurance Brokers

In August 1987 the Catholic Order of the Knights of Da Gama (“KDG”) formed a dedicated insurance broking company to assist the Catholic Church in South Africa in its short-term insurance needs and other related matters.

The objectives of KIB are:

To provide a highly professional broking service to its private and commercial clients;
To provide a comprehensive and efficient broking service to the Catholic Church  and our varied client base;
To make a profit for its shareholders.

50% of the ordinary shares  are held by the South African Catholic Bishops Conference (SACBC).

KIB opened its doors for business during September 1987.

KIB, as a company, understands the particular needs and requirements of the Church  and the Religious organizations .

KIB offers the following services to the greater Catholic Community

• Fixed and Movable Asset Insurance;
• Motor-only fleet insurance;
• Home Owners and Motor Insurance at very competitive rates;
• Medical Aid and Travel Insurance;
• The administration of an Insurance scheme based on conventional insurance and self funded risk for the South African Dioceses.
• The administration of an investment scheme on behalf of the SACBC.

Where a Diocese, Order, School, Hospital, Association or individual uses the services of KIB, the following benefits will be derived for the Church:

• The SACBC will derive dividends from the profits made by the KIB Group.
• KIB will be an indirect source of funding through the savings of each client.
• Individual clients have the assurance that they are dealing with a company which has the Catholic ethos at heart.
