In addition, the company provides risk management consultancy, claims administration, and reinsurance brokerage advisory services. Headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, Fortis Global Insurance Plc maintains branch offices and agency distribution networks across major commercial centers in Nigeria. In recent corporate developments, the company has undertaken a strategic capital restructuring and balance sheet recapitalization to strengthen underwriting capacity in alignment with National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) solvency and capital adequacy frameworks. To drive retail expansion and operational efficiency, the company launched an upgraded digital insurance portal and mobile self-service platform for automated policy issuance, real-time premium payments, and electronic claims submission. Furthermore, the company expanded its distribution reach by entering into strategic bancassurance and fintech partnerships to integrate microinsurance products into digital banking channels, while restructuring its underwriting portfolio to optimize risk retention and expand coverage in emerging commercial sectors.
