Explore with us the ways in which AVBOB is here for you and how we have been a pillar in communities across South Africa for over a century. Our business is rooted in a mutual model that puts every member’s needs first, but we also take the time to care for society through corporate social investments that drive positive change. This is why the AVBOB name is not just about business; it’s about making a lasting impact for generations ahead.
Values that Ensure AVBOB is Here for You
Our enduring success as an industry leader is due to the values that drive all facets of our Mutual Assurance Society. We aim to deliver dignity and superb financial services to every member of society, empowering and uplifting them in this way. Everyone deserves support and compassion during difficult times, and AVBOB is here for you 24/7 with professionals who care. 0861 28 26 21 is the number to keep.
Empowering Our Members Through Affordable Services
Our funeral and financial services and offerings are comprehensive, easily accessible, and most importantly, affordable. We have served a diverse nation since 1918, meaning we have a compassionate legacy spanning over 100 years that you can trust.
Our Mutual Status Means We Are Owned by Our Members
The concept of the shared value model is central to how we do business, and our mutual status means that we are owned by the members who help us succeed. As AVBOB CEO Carl van der Riet explains, “I think AVBOB has a central role to play in South Africa today. We are a long-standing business that’s been part of the business community for over 100 years. And we are, as we say, a mutual, so we are owned by our members, and everything we do is for the benefit and the upliftment of our members, and the communities and societies in which we operate.”
Why Our Social Responsibility is Our Business Imperative
Our Corporate Social Investment strategies are aligned with our long-term vision and objectives, and we seek to contribute to society in a way that truly uplifts people. Carl van der Riet further explains, “We have a role to play in spaces like education, in spaces like literacy and numeracy, and in the fight against gender-based violence. So, there are many initiatives we are committing to, to make a change in society.” This is not just about enhancing trust in our brand but empowering those who need a helping hand most.

We have over 350 branches nationwide and offer services to over 5,5 million people in diverse communities across the country. Because we have such a broad reach, we recognise our ability to transform lives and make an impact that truly matters.
