It continued in existence by the State Insurance Corporation Instrument, 1965 (LI 424), made under section 5 of the Statutory Corporations Act, 1964. The name of the company was changed to State Insurance Corporation of Ghana by virtue of the State Insurance Corporation (Amendment) Instrument, 1969 (LI 635).

The Statutory Corporations (Conversion to Companies) Act, 1993 (Act 461) provided for a number of statutory corporations, including SIC, to be converted into companies limited by shares under the Companies Code, 1963 (Act 179) (the “Code”). SIC was duly incorporated as a public limited liability company on August 28, 1995

Inter-State Road Transport Insurance
SIC serves as the National Guarantor for the Inter-State Road Transit (ISRT) of Goods Protocol signed by ECOWAS states in 1982. The Protocol seeks to promote the free movement of goods by road through one customs office in a member state, free of duties, taxes and restrictions, while in transit to another member state. The Company’s ISRT operations, which commenced in September 2006, have been very satisfactory.

Travel Insurance
The Travel Insurance policy covers travelers from Ghana to countries worldwide. It covers medical expenses, emergency vacation accidents, loss of luggage etc. This product was introduced in December 2005.

Flexi Home
The Flexi home package policy is an all-in-one package that protects the home and household against, fire and allied perils, rent, burglary, jewellery/cash and other valuables, plate glass, family personal accident, and motor vehicle insurance.

Oil and Gas
In the light of the Oil find along the western coast of Ghana, the Company has positioned itself to underwrite Oil, Gas and other ancillary businesses in the country. Further to this, the GHANA INSURERS ASSOCIATION (GIA), as a way of building capacity and positioning itself to adequately handle all related insurances on Oil and Energy Risks, formed a consortium. All insurances relating to exploration, drilling through to production of oil and gas are placed with the consortium and a Manager is appointed, with the core responsibility of managing the entire portfolio.

SIC Insurance Company was appointed as the Consortium Manager, based on our Capital Base, Human Resource Capacity, and Track Record in performance among other things. This responsibility involves dealing with all the local insurance companies participating in the consortium, the clients and other stakeholders as well as the overseas reinsurers.
