The Firm
The entity behind
the facility.
Established in 2019, Premium Finance Partners has grown to become one of South Africa's leading specialist premium financiers - funding annual insurance obligations at scale, for businesses nationwide.
Who We Are
Premium finance is our singular focus. Not a side product - the entire firm.
PFP provides a specialised funding facility that lets corporate South Africa pay annual insurance obligations as monthly instalments, without tying up working capital. Through the group's capital availability, an efficient platform and deep product knowledge, we coordinate all three stakeholders in the insurance value chain - insurers, brokers and policyholders - so the process runs seamlessly, end to end.
The firm sits within Acris Holdings, the specialist financial services group, and is backed by the financial strength of Santam Limited - entrepreneurial ownership on one side, institutional capital on the other. The business is led by Executive Head Celeste Swift, with specialist teams across our Johannesburg and Cape Town offices.

“An annual premium paid in cash is capital retired from duty. Financed, it stays on the balance sheet and works - at a fixed, known cost.”
