BLOOM
Affordable health insurance, medical aid, and gap cover for South Africans -- making private healthcare accessible for less.
Overview
BLOOM Financial Services is a South African insurance intermediary founded in 2020 with the mission to make high-quality, affordable private healthcare accessible to more South Africans. Operating as an authorized financial services provider (FSP 50140), BLOOM distributes health insurance, medical aid, and gap cover products through partnerships with established underwriters and insurers.
BLOOM focuses on individuals and families who are priced out of traditional private healthcare -- particularly young professionals, students, and first-time workers in the ZAR 8,000-40,000/month income bracket. The company has serviced over 40,000 policies through its flagship Health4Me product and has earned recognition as a top-rated insurance provider in South Africa with a 4.88-star average across 6,160+ customer reviews on HelloPeter.
In August 2024, BLOOM launched Bloom Global Outsourcing, a BPO contact centre service targeting international clients, leveraging the operational expertise built through its insurance business.
