Brief History

Madison Insurance Company Zambia Limited was the first private insurance company to
commence operations in the liberalised insurance market, on 1 April 1992. The Company started as a subsidiary of Meridian International Bank Limited (MIBL) which was based in Nassau, Bahamas.

The main object of Madison from the outset was to provide a first class client service, particularly in relation to claims as it was a known fact that both individual and corporate clients in the market were concerned about these issues. The Company achieved very good results both in respect of growth and profitability from inception. However, the liquidation of the Meridian International Bank Group in 1995 had an adverse impact on the Company. In view of this, Management offered to buy the Company to save it from collapse and proceeded to look for new partners.
To date Madison remains an outstanding example of successful financial restructuring in Zambia and speaks volumes of the skills of Management. All business lost because of the 1995 problem has since been recaptured and the company has gone on to experience tremendous growth from new business. Madison Insurance is the only insurance company in Zambia with in-house actuarial services.
