Before you buy from Metropolitan in Botswana
- Check that the policy is issued by one of the companies above — the licensed entity, not only the brand.
- For motor cover, check the insurer, and the agent or broker who sells you the policy, on NBFIRA's list of licensed entities, or call NBFIRA on +267 310 2595 / 368 6100.
- Ask for the schedule and the exclusions in writing, and compare them with at least one other insurer.
- Keep in mind the claim rule that applies to every insurer: ask the insurer for its claims procedure and timeline in writing and keep copies of everything you send; if it does not acknowledge a complaint within 10 working days you may go to NBFIRA.
- If something goes wrong, complain to the insurer in writing, then to its Principal Officer, then to NBFIRA (info@nbfira.org.bw, +267 310 2595 / 368 6100) and, after that, the Non-Bank Financial Institutions Tribunal.
The rules above come from our guides: licensed insurers and how to complain.
