Its origins may be traced back to 1955, when the Gold Coast Insurance Company was founded. When Ghana gained independence in 1957, it was renamed Ghana Insurance Company. Ghana Insurance Firm, which was largely a life insurance company at the time, was founded in 1960.

In February 1962, the Ghanaian government took over the Ghana Cooperative Insurance Company and renamed it the State Insurance Corporation while waiting for takeover negotiations with Ghana Insurance Company and its subsidiary Ghana General to be completed. Following a successful acquisition of the two private firms, Ghana Insurance and Ghana General, the new State Insurance Corporation began operations in November 1962.

As part of the Ghanaian government’s divestiture policy, State Insurance Corporation was turned into a public limited liability company in 1995. With the Government of Ghana as the sole stakeholder, the company was renamed State Insurance Company of Ghana Limited. The State Insurance Company of Ghana Ltd. takes over the State Insurance Corporation of Ghana’s assets and liabilities. The name of the company was changed to SIC Insurance Company Limited by a special resolution passed on October 22, 2007.

With the creation of SIC Life Limited, SIC has duly segregated its general business from the life business in compliance with the provisions of the current insurance laws, the Insurance Act, 2006. The life business and assets were transferred to SIC Life Limited by special resolution, and the GoG received 80,000,000 ordinary shares in exchange.

SIC’s business is national in scope with a visible presence in all ten regions of Ghana. The Company has consistently, over the span of its business life, maintained steady market leadership.
