Clientèle customer care hours
Clientèle’s working hours at head office are Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00 and Saturday 08:00 to 12:00. Life claims keep shorter hours, Monday to Friday 08:00 to 16:00, while legal claims are open Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00 and Saturday 08:00 to 12:00. Outside those times, the only line Clientèle lists as available around the clock is the legal claims number, 0860 004 529, which is for legal emergencies and legal claims only. The Clientèle Perks Contact Centre on 011 320 3000 works Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00 and Saturday 09:00 to 13:00.
Clientèle WhatsApp numbers
Clientèle publishes two WhatsApp numbers. Its main WhatsApp number, 067 342 7248, appears on its home page and head office page, and its claims page says to use it for claims and encashment queries. Legal claims use a different WhatsApp number, 064 000 2096. Clientèle notes that standard rates apply to both. For policy changes, Clientèle points you to its self-service option and the Clientèle App on Google Play and the Apple App Store rather than WhatsApp.
Is there a Clientèle toll-free number?
No. None of Clientèle’s contact pages lists a toll-free 0800 number. The main line, 011 320 3000, is a Johannesburg landline charged at normal rates, and 0860 004 529 is a shared-cost number for legal claims. If you want to avoid call costs, use the call-back form on clientele.co.za: enter your name, phone number and the reason for your query, and a consultant contacts you. The form’s query reasons are policy details, billing and debit orders, claim types, IFA business queries, claims queries, compliments and complaints, potential fraud or misrepresentation, and Clientèle Loans.
Clientèle offices
Clientèle’s website lists a single office: its head office at Clientèle Office Park, corner Rivonia and Alon Road, Morningside, 2196, which it also describes as Rivonia, Morningside. It does not publish a list of regional branches, so searches for “Clientèle offices near me” lead back to this address. Clientèle’s claims page says you can visit head office to lodge a funeral or H.E.L.P claim, but for most people calling 011 320 3000, emailing or using WhatsApp is quicker.
Clientèle offices in Cape Town, Bellville and Durban
Clientèle does not publish any Cape Town, Bellville or Durban office. Its website lists only the Morningside head office, so there is no Clientèle branch in Cape Town CBD or Bellville to visit or phone. Wherever you are, use the call centre on 011 320 3000, WhatsApp 067 342 7248, or dial *120*337# to manage your policy without data. You can also manage policies on the Clientèle App or the website.
Clientèle funeral cover contact details
For Clientèle funeral cover, call 011 320 3000, email claims@clientele.co.za, or SMS your policy number to 31041 (standard rates apply). There is no separate funeral WhatsApp number: the main WhatsApp line, 067 342 7248, handles claims and encashment queries.
Clientèle sells two funeral plans, both advertised to pay out within 24 hours. The Funeral Dignity Plan pays between R35,000 and R100,000, with up to R50,000 individual cover, covers up to 13 people on one plan, and gives R200 airtime when you claim. The Ultimate Dignity Plan pays back all premiums with a valid death claim, offers up to R500,000 family cover and covers 3 children at no additional cost. The Funeral Assist benefit includes a 24-hour funeral helpline for arrangements, grief counselling and repatriation, but Clientèle does not print that helpline’s number on its funeral plan page.
How to cancel a Clientèle policy
Clientèle does not publish a cancellation procedure or a dedicated cancellation line, and its call-back form has no cancellation option. To cancel, call 011 320 3000 or email services@clientele.co.za for life and funeral policies, or legalservices@clientele.co.za for legal policies.
Clientèle Perks contact number
The Clientèle Perks Contact Centre number is 011 320 3000, open Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00 and Saturday 09:00 to 13:00. Perks is provided by CBC Rewards (Pty) Ltd and managed through the Clientèle App. Clientèle does not publish a separate Perks WhatsApp number.

If it cannot be resolved immediately, Clientèle logs a complaint and SMSes you a reference number. General service complaints get feedback within two business days, and complaints about how a policy was sold go to the Market Conduct Department, with an outcome in five to ten business days.

About Clientèle Life
Clientèle Limited is the controlling company of the Clientèle Insurance Group, whose brands include Clientèle, 1Life and Emerald Life. Life policies are underwritten by Clientele Life Assurance Company Limited (FSP 15268), and non-life policies by Clientèle General Insurance Limited (FSP 34655). 1Life shares the same office park but has its own contact numbers, so a 1Life policy should not be taken to the Clientèle lines.
