Frequently asked questions
Answers, without the small print.
What TIIN is, how buying and claims actually work, and what happens to your data.
About TIIN
3TIIN is a research-led digital insurance marketplace for the Nigerian market. It lets individuals, families, groups and businesses discover, compare, purchase and manage insurance products from multiple licensed insurers in one place, backed by independent market research.
No. TIIN is a digital insurance agency/marketplace, not an insurer, underwriter or broker. Every product on the platform is underwritten by a participating, NAICOM-licensed insurance company — TIIN distributes those products but never assumes underwriting or claims-payment risk itself.
TIIN partners with licensed Nigerian insurers who sign a distribution agreement and are verified during onboarding. Every insurer listed on the platform holds a valid NAICOM licence.
Choosing cover
3TIIN covers three broad categories: life insurance (individual, group, term, whole, education, savings and retirement plans, and more), non-life insurance (health, motor, travel, home, business, marine, and more), and inclusive insurance (microinsurance, Takaful, group welfare and bundled plans). See the Products & Services page for the full list.
Yes — comparing coverage and pricing across insurers side by side is a core part of TIIN, so you can make an informed choice before you buy.
TIIN publishes plain-language product guides and independent research to help you understand your options. If you are unsure, our support team (reachable from the Contact page) can point you to the right category.
Buying & payment
3You compare products, choose the cover that fits, complete a short application, and pay online. Once payment is confirmed, your policy documents are issued by the underwriting insurer and made available in your TIIN account.
Payment options will be confirmed at checkout as part of the transactional platform (registration, purchase and payment go live alongside this marketing site). This page will be updated once payments are enabled.
Policy documents are delivered digitally to your TIIN account and the email address on file once your underwriting insurer confirms and issues the policy.
Claims
2You notify TIIN or the underwriting insurer directly, depending on the product, and follow the claims process for that policy. TIIN helps track the claim status, but the underwriting insurer makes the claims decision.
No. TIIN is an agency, not an underwriter — it does not decide claims and cannot guarantee a claim outcome. Claims are assessed and paid by the licensed insurer that underwrote your policy, according to that policy’s terms.
Research
2TIIN runs its own ongoing, AI-assisted market research program covering the Nigerian insurance sector, and publishes findings through the Research & Insights Hub.
Yes. TIIN’s research function is editorially independent of the commercial marketplace — it is not paid or directed by any single insurer, which is part of what "research-led" means for TIIN.
Data & privacy
1TIIN handles personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and NITDA guidance, including consent capture, data-subject rights, and a Subject Access Request process. See the Privacy Policy for full detail.
Groups & business
2Yes. Businesses, cooperatives and associations can arrange group life, group welfare or business cover through TIIN, including group quoting and bulk enrolment.
Minimum group sizes vary by product and by the underwriting insurer. Reach out via the Contact page with the "Sales & partnerships" topic and we’ll point you to the right option.
Account & support
2Contact support via the "Account support" topic on the Contact page with your policy number and the email address you used, and we will locate it for you.
