About Jubilee Insurance

Jubilee Insurance traces its history to 1937, when it was established as the first locally incorporated insurance company based in Mombasa. The Group has subsequently expanded across East Africa and developed operations covering Life, Pensions, Asset Management and Medical Insurance.

According to Jubilee’s current recruitment materials, the Group serves more than 1.9 million clients and maintains offices in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Burundi. Jubilee is also listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange, Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange and Uganda Securities Exchange.
