About Turaco
It is urgent to find a way to insure those who are not currently insured. Turaco’s mission is to relieve people from the fear of financial shocks. Our vision is to insure a billion people, effectively doubling the global number of insured individuals.

We provide subscription-based insurance for the mass market, bundled with everyday transactions that people are already engaging in. We collaborate with business partners to deliver affordable insurance products that truly enhance people’s lives. At Turaco, we prioritise simplicity, communication, and transparency while striving to transform how insurance operates. We are in the claims-paying business.
Turaco values diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We’re building a team where our differences enhance and strengthen us. We strictly prohibit discrimination and harassment based on race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, or any other protected characteristic.
