Amsure was a short-term insurance brand associated with a South African bank’s insurance business. We could not confirm a current official website for it.
A retired insurance brand does not mean a cancelled policy. When a brand is folded into its parent, the policies move with it and are serviced under the parent’s name. Your premium usually keeps being collected, often under a new reference on your bank statement.
Start with the bank or insurer named on your most recent statement or policy schedule. That name is the current servicing party, and it is the only one that can trace a policy number issued under an old brand.
This page covers how to contact Amsure in South Africa. The details below were taken from the official Amsure contact page rather than from any third-party directory.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We are not Amsure and cannot act on your behalf. Everything on this page is a routing aid so you reach the right official channel quickly.
Amsure contact numbers
We could not identify an official source for an organisation trading under this name. There is no website we could confirm belongs to it, so there was nothing official to read a contact number from.
We have deliberately not published a number here. An unverified number is worse than none: it sends people to whoever happens to answer it, which is exactly the mechanism behind contact-detail scams.
Amsure was a short-term insurance brand associated with a South African bank’s insurance arm. Brands of this kind are folded into the parent’s own insurance business when they are retired, and existing policies move with them.
Self-service options before you call
- Check the organisation’s own official website, which carries the current contact details.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for South African contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most South African providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
Insurance sold with credit or at a till
- You may not have chosen it. Credit life, warranty and product cover are commonly added at the point of sale with finance or a store account, and many policyholders first notice on a bank statement.
- Where cover is required by a credit agreement, you can usually substitute your own. Comparing is worth the hour, because point-of-sale cover is rarely the cheapest available.
- It does not always cancel when the credit ends. Premiums for cover attached to a settled or sold asset can keep going off. Check any debit order you cannot account for.
- Credit life is one of South Africa’s most unclaimed benefits. It settles the outstanding balance on death, disability or retrenchment. Families routinely keep paying a debt that a policy should have cleared.
- The retailer failing does not cancel the policy. The underwriter carries the risk and still owes the benefit, whatever happened to the shop.
Your policy schedule and your most recent statement between them name the underwriter, the administrator and the credit provider. Those three names decide who answers a claim.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the insurer’s internal complaints process first, in writing and with a reference number, and ask for any rejection reason in writing with the clause it relies on. Unresolved insurance complaints go to the National Financial Ombud on 0860 800 900, which absorbed the long-term and short-term insurance ombuds. It is free to consumers. If the complaint is about the advice you were given or how the product was sold, that is the FAIS Ombud on 012 762 5000.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most insurance complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake Amsure contact numbers
Contact details for well known South African brands are a common target for impersonation. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not Amsure.
- Reach Amsure through the official site at its official website rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- Amsure will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Amsure contact number?
We do not publish one, because we could not confirm a number on an official source. Numbers do circulate on directory sites, and we do not republish those.
How do I know a Amsure number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at its official website. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not Amsure, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
South African 0860 and 0861 numbers are charged at a share-call or standard rate depending on your provider, and 0800 numbers are toll free from a landline. Calls from a mobile are billed at your own operator’s rate, so check your plan if cost matters.
