Clientèle has cultivated an understanding of the needs for financial protection and investment for South Africans from all walks of life. These needs are well provided for in Clientèle's comprehensive yet uncomplicated range of products, which include life insurance, dread disease insurance, hospital insurance, investment and legal insurance products. This simplicity, efficiency and convenience extends throughout Clientèle's product range and service.
Restructuring took place during May 2008 whereby Clientèle Limited became the new JSE holding company of the Clientèle Group. The rationale was to increase the flexibility of the Clientèle Group to introduce complementary product offerings beyond its traditional life assurance products.
