AlBA is the umbrella body for all practicing insurance and Reinsurance brokers in the African Continent and it is one of the most important organs of the African Insurance Organisation (AIO).
AIBA is one of the earliest bodies established by the African Insurance Organisation (AIO) for the facilitation, encouragement and promotion of insurance brokers in Africa.
The objectives of AIBA include the protection and promotion of the general welfare and interest of insurance brokers and insurance brokers associations in Africa.
The association was also established to encourage the exchange of insurance and reinsurance business between members, as well as to promote insurance education and exchange of business between members and other insurance markets.
AIBA is equally facilitating the exchange of technical information between members and other insurance markets, while still promoting insurance pools in the continent of Africa. AIBA is made up of members and associate members.
A member is either an insurance broker or consultant or insurance brokers/consultants association, domiciled within a member country of the AIO, registered with the AIO or whose principal business is insurance or related matters.
