Old Mutual emerging markets CEO Ralph Mupita said this partnership with Faulu represents a significant further opportunity for the development of its business across East Africa.
In July, when the agreement was signed, Old Mutual group chief executive Julian Roberts said, "We are building on our existing business in Kenya with a significant extension of our distribution and product offering through this transaction.
"This is a further step in executing our strategy of expanding our African footprint."
Faulu serves with more than 400,000 customers, through a distribution network across Kenya with over 100 outlets, and also serves a similar demographic to Old Mutual’s Mass Foundation business in South Africa.
