About Provident
Cover Ghanaians have trusted since 1981
Provident Insurance Company Limited is one of Ghana’s established non-life insurers — four decades of paying claims, a balance sheet built to last, and a single promise behind it all: with Provident, you’re covered.
In brief
Provident Insurance is a Ghanaian general (non-life) insurer founded in 1981 and regulated by the National Insurance Commission. It holds GHS 122 million in capital, a 389% Capital Adequacy Ratio and zero bank debt, and serves customers through 11 branches nationwide.
Our story
From GHS 5,000 to a 389% safety margin
Provident was incorporated in February 1981 and opened for business in October 1982 with a starting capital of just GHS 5,000. The ambition was simple and Ghanaian: build an insurer people could actually rely on when things went wrong.
Four decades of disciplined underwriting later, that GHS 5,000 has grown into GHS 122 million in stated capital, a Capital Adequacy Ratio of 389% — more than two-and-a-half times the National Insurance Commission’s 150% minimum — and zero bank debt. In plain terms: the money to pay your claim is there, and then some.
We are a non-life insurer. We cover your car, your home, your goods, your premises, your projects and your people — motor, fire, marine, engineering, liability, bonds and more — through a network of 11 branches from Ring Road Central in Accra to Tamale in the north. We do not sell life or health cover; we do general insurance, and we do it well.
The padlock in our logo and the line beneath it say the same thing our balance sheet does: With Provident, Man You’re Covered.
