About Turaco
Most people in Africa have never had insurance. We're changing that. Turaco's mission: free people from the fear of financial shocks. We build affordable, simple insurance into the everyday transactions people already make — partnering with banks, MFIs, SACCOs, fintechs, and telcos that serve emerging consumers.
Since launching in 2019, we've reached 7+ million customers across Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia, and Pakistan. In 2026, we landed at #29 on the Financial Times' Africa's Fastest Growing Companies list and took home Innovation of the Year at the African Insurance Awards. We're in the claims-paying business — and we take that seriously.
We build diverse, inclusive teams on purpose — our differences make us stronger.
