    6: Know your Ombud Episode 6: Death and Disability claims not adding up?
    2025/07/03
    In this episode of "Know Your Ombud," we examine the complexities of long-term insurance and the common complaints the Ombud receives.

    Host Maya Fisher-French chats to Sonya Marais, Senior Adjudicator for the Life Insurance Division of the National Financial Ombud (NFO), about the intricacies of insurance claims, particularly focusing on the challenges surrounding non-payment of claims and non-disclosure. Sonya explains the distinction between advice-related issues and product failures, and how these factors influence the adjudication process.

    Listeners will hear case studies, including an example of a driver who lost his eyesight and faced rejection of his claim due to the insurer's interpretation of disability. Sonya explains the Ombud's role in evaluating the fairness of such decisions, emphasising the importance of understanding the terms and conditions of insurance policies.

    The conversation also addresses the often-overlooked nuances of funeral policies and why you cannot take out funeral cover on someone who is not directly related to you. They also discuss the potential for fraud in the industry.

    Join Maya and Sonya as they navigate the challenges faced by consumers in the long-term insurance landscape, reinforcing the message that the Ombud service is a free and accessible resource for those seeking resolution in their insurance disputes. Remember, understanding your rights and responsibilities is key to ensuring fair treatment in the financial services sector.

    1: Retirement Reimagined Episode 1: How prepared are South Africans for retirement?
    2025/07/02
    Welcome to the first episode of “Retirement Reimagined,” a series of conversations exploring the latest FNB Retirement Survey and what it reveals about the average South African’s preparedness and attitude towards retirement.

    In the first episode of our series, we investigate the findings of the 2024 FNB Retirement Survey with Samukelo Zwane: Product Head, FNB Wealth and Investments and Bheki Mkhize: CEO FNB Wealth and Investments.

    One of the standout findings from the survey is that approximately 60% of respondents claim to have a retirement plan in place. While this figure seems promising, a deeper analysis uncovers that only 25% of these individuals have a retirement annuity, indicating a potential gap in effective retirement planning.

    The survey also highlights that many people begin thinking about retirement much earlier than previous generations, with some starting as young as 27. This shift suggests a growing awareness of the importance of retirement planning among younger South Africans.

    However, the survey also reveals a troubling reality: only 10% of retirees can truly claim to have retired comfortably, with the majority lacking sufficient funds to cover their basic needs. This discrepancy raises critical questions about the effectiveness of current retirement strategies and the need for better financial education and advice.

    As we explore the attitudes of those over 60, it becomes evident that many are not fully retiring but rather seeking secondary careers or part-time work to supplement their income. This trend reflects a broader cultural shift in how we view retirement, not as a time to relax but as a phase to remain active and engaged.

    The episode also addresses the anxiety surrounding retirement planning. Many individuals feel overwhelmed by the complexities of saving and investing for retirement. The survey indicates that access to financial advice significantly reduces this anxiety, underscoring the importance of guidance in navigating retirement options.

    Looking ahead, we will continue to unpack these themes in future episodes. We will explore whether retirement planning is becoming a luxury and how rising living costs affect our ability to save for the future. Join us on this journey to better understand and prepare for retirement, ensuring that we can all look forward to a secure and fulfilling future.

    2025/06/26
    In this episode of "Know Your Ombud," host Maya Fisher-French engages with Edite Teixeira-Mckinon, the lead Ombud for non-life insurance, to understand the intricacies of short-term insurance and the common complaints consumers face. This episode aims to empower listeners with essential knowledge about their rights and the processes involved in lodging complaints against insurers.

    Maya and Edite discuss the various types of insurance policies under the non-life umbrella, including motor vehicle, home contents, and pet insurance. They delve into the most frequent complaints, particularly those related to motor vehicle insurance, and the complexities of insured values and shortfall insurance. Edite explains how understanding policy details can be crucial in avoiding disputes and ensuring fair treatment.

    Listeners will hear about real cases that highlight the importance of clarity in policy terms and the challenges consumers face when claims are rejected. Edite shares insights on the prevalence of complaints regarding mechanical warranties and the impact of recent events like COVID-19 on insurance trends.

    The episode also addresses the concept of recklessness in driving and how it can affect insurance claims. Edite emphasises the importance of being honest and transparent when filing claims, as misrepresentation can lead to the denial of coverage. The discussion serves as a reminder that consumers must actively engage with their insurance policies to fully understand their rights and obligations.
