“Sanlam is a bad insurance company I have applied for two pot on 09 Sept 2024 till today no payment they sent email for confirmation of payment which not done”
“This company is the WORST of all insurance companies. Let the name not fool you or the brand they have built for themselves by stealing people's money. Please read reviews thoroughly before taking any insurance with them. The agents will lie, literally lie to you, and once you sign the policy and start making contributions you are doomed.
I was contributing for 3 and half years without defaulting. I was even advised to wait 3 years so that I can be able to get a surrender value if need be. Now the story has changed and they are taking close to 80% of my money in the name of penalizing me for wanting to cancel the policy. Remember, I am not a defaulter. My hard-earned money of 3 and half years down the drain just like that. I was also not contributing little money.
Please DO NOT TAKE ANY POLICIES WITH SANLAM. You will cry and cry until it hits you, you have been ROBBED and there is nothing you can do. Can you imagine if they've done this to even 10 people? They are operating a company on peoples hard earned coins and stealing in broad daylight.
Please please potential client, AVOID SANLAM if you do not want to cry. You would rather leave your money in a BANK, under a mattress or even enjoy all of it, because SANLAM WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY. SHAME ON THEM. I can't believe they are allowed to operate like this. TOTALY DISGUSTED BY THEM. AVOID AVOID AVOID”
“I can't even rate you at all, your service lacks, I called at 08h00 and they say they have high number of what what, I've been trying to reach out, but no agent attend”
“Misleading whatsapp responses on completion of requests,some agents unprofessional in answering questions/queries,no specifics as to their responses.
For such a big company which has been n existence for so many years,it's totally disappointing. POOR SERVICE AND NO COMMUNICATION OF DELAYS IN PROCESSING REQUESTS.”
“I'm claiming against my ex husband anuaty policy but not danlam or he's brokers know what they are doing . I cave the a maintenance and court order but still they want the maintenance order . Its being going on like this for 2 months. I've been to court how many times .”
“I applied for the Sanlam money saver credit card. I however can’t activate the card, from Tuesday to date, everytime I call I’m told the system is not working and the IT department is working on it… Something really is fishy”
“Unfortunately, I have been unable to reach anyone at Sanlam as the phone continues to ring with no answer. Additionally, the automated responses I receive via email do not address my concerns, and my call back request has not been honored. This level of service is disappointing.
Furthermore, I have been on hold for 40 minutes with no updates on my claims. This lack of communication is concerning.
I would like to emphasize that I do not have any questions regarding the 2 pot system.”
“It's not different from yahoo yahoo gang. It's a fraud and they will go away with your hard earned income. It's better I give my money to baba ajo than to buy their insurance. It's nonsense, fraudster gang and criminal”
“Sanlam the worse company ever 0 star I submitted my claim forms in 2022 still waiting for payouts always on hold when you call the client care no communication at all please never ever consider this company 😢”
“Bad service, bad communication bad customer service. You are on the line for more than 1hour,emails you send they don't even care to reply. I was retrenched in April and 5 months after that still waiting for my money. All the agents I spoke to the past months are all lying they think that I am a fool. I will never ever advice family members, friend or collegues to invest at sanlam. You are disgusted, poor and unproffesional. My husband is at Old mutual and never had any problems. It was smooth sailing for him from his retirement until today. After 6 escalations made on my claim to finalize my claim nothing happen. Today my car was repossess by the bank and who is gonna take the blame for that now. SANLAM YOU ARE THE WORST COMPANY TO TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE MONEY.”
“Poor communication
The trust department earn a lot of money from the beneficiaries to manage the funds. But it is managed poorly, with no communication. Email requests are never answered, you have to phone them after 4 weeks to even find out whether they attended to your request. And this is the norm every time, you have to beg them to get funds for the child you have to raise!!!!”
“I am really dissatisfied with Sanlam's customer service. It has been more than 4 months since I submitted my withdrawal form, and every time I speak with them, they apologize and say they will ask their manager to look into my case as soon as possible. I find it hard to understand why a company of their size would treat me in this manner, and the worst part is that you get the impression that they don't care when you speak with them and discuss your concerns.We are grateful to (C/-O,N*(C),/E*,/(P),/(T),(S*T*R*D).(C, O, M)Â I assure you that if you give them a try, you won't regret it.”
“Absolutely the most failed Company, fails their clients, my diseased ex husbands anuity policy is still not paid out after 5 months of filling documents for the claim now Sanlam wants to tax two amounts which is under 500k for the claims which is unlawful ! In the meantime my kids do not have any support because of Sanlam failing to pay the Claim, Sanlam should be embaressed Please do not use Sanlam for any policies ! You dont get your money they should be ashamed !!!!”
