Policy enquiries and account management
For updates on your policy cover, changing beneficiary details, updating personal information, or requesting schedule updates, call the standard customer support helpline or log into the official online customer portal.
Premium queries and billing assistance
If you have questions regarding your Omsure premium, debit order dates, missed payments, or adjustments to monthly contributions, contact the billing department via the customer service helpline.

Omsure complaints and escalation
- Contact customer service first: present your issue to the standard support line and request a formal ticket or query reference number.
- Escalate to internal complaints management: if the issue is not resolved within the promised service timeframe, ask for the case to be escalated to the internal complaints or dispute department. Provide your original reference number and a clear explanation of the dispute.
- Approach the National Financial Ombudsman (NFO): if internal escalation fails to reach a satisfactory resolution, you have the right to lodge a formal complaint with the NFO, which handles insurance disputes in South Africa. Keep all written correspondence, policy schedules, and reference numbers for your submission.
What to prepare before contacting
- Policy reference number: located on your policy document, schedule, or monthly debit order bank statement.
- South African ID number: the main policyholder’s identity number for verification.
- Incident or claim documents: for claims, have police report numbers, medical certificates, repair quotes, or death certificates ready depending on the claim type.
- Contact information: ensure your current mobile number and email address are accessible for OTPs or confirmation messages.
Security warning: official support consultants will never ask for your online banking PIN, banking password, or one-time pin (OTP) sent to your phone. Never share these sensitive credentials under any circumstances.
Omsure scam and safety checks
- Beware of impersonations: scammers often publish fake helpline numbers on online directories or call policyholders pretending to represent the insurer. Always double-check numbers against official documentation.
- Verify email addresses: official emails will come from legitimate corporate domains (such as @oldmutual.com or @ominsure.co.za). Watch out for public domains like @gmail.com or @yahoo.com claiming to represent customer care.
- Avoid advance-fee and refund scams: legitimate insurers will never ask you to transfer funds to a private bank account in order to release a claim payout or process a premium refund.
- Check verified badges: on social media and WhatsApp, ensure you interact only with accounts carrying official verification badges.
