- Business
- Mercantile Islami Insurance PLC is a Bangladesh-based non-life Islamic insurance (general takaful) provider that offers a comprehensive portfolio of Shariah-compliant insurance products and risk-management solutions to individual, commercial, and industrial clients. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Dhaka, Bangladesh, the company operates across Bangladesh through a widespread nationwide branch network. Its operations adhere to Islamic Shariah principles under the supervision of a dedicated Shariah Supervisory Board, utilizing Wakala and Mudaraba operational models. The company provides risk-underwriting solutions across several core business segments, comprising: Fire Insurance, covering standard fire and allied perils, industrial all risks, business interruption, property damage, earthquake, flood, and riot and strike damage; Marine Insurance, including marine cargo coverage for import and export shipments transported by sea, air, road, and rail, inland transit insurance, and marine hull and machinery takaful; Motor Insurance, offering comprehensive and third-party liability coverage for private motor vehicles, commercial vehicle fleets, motorcycles, and public transport units; Engineering Insurance, encompassing contractor's all risks (CAR), erection all risks (EAR), machinery breakdown, electronic equipment, boiler and pressure vessel explosion, and deterioration of stock coverage; and Miscellaneous and Liability Insurance, providing cash-in-transit, cash-in-safe, cash-on-counter, burglary and housebreaking, fidelity guarantee, workmen's compensation, public liability, product liability, personal accident, group health and hospitalization, and overseas travel takaful. In recent developments, the company executed a strategic corporate reorganization and rebranding, transitioning from its legacy identity as Mercantile Insurance Company Limited to Mercantile Islami Insurance PLC, completing its full conversion into an Islamic general takaful operator and adopting the public limited company (PLC) denomination in compliance with regulatory directives. Operationally, the company has advanced its digital transformation programs by rolling out digital policy issuance platforms, modernizing its core insurance management information systems, and introducing expedited online claims submission channels. Furthermore, Mercantile Islami Insurance PLC has expanded its distribution presence across key commercial and industrial hubs in Bangladesh, enhanced specialized Shariah-compliant insurance products targeted at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and strengthened its risk-retention and treaty reinsurance partnerships in alignment with Insurance Development and Regulatory Authority (IDRA) regulations.
