Overview

CIA is a niche underwriting agency specialising in the insurance of buildings. If it’s a building we can insure it! From residential homes and apartments - to commercial and industrial buildings such as offices, shopping centres and factories - to the more intricate cover required by a body corporate. The extensive cover provided by our policies is designed to cater for all the different varieties of property ownership and occupations including many additional complementary benefits and features. CIA is considered to be the leader in the building insurance field and is dedicated to providing the highest level of Service Excellence and customer care. As underwriting managers, CIA operates under the licence of Compass Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Hannover-Reinsurance Group, which allows us to retain our entrepreneurial flair as well as benefiting from our close association with the fourth largest reinsurer in the world. Compass Insurance has an A+ high claims paying ability rating from Global Credit Rating Co.
