From New York to Paris. Toronto to Tokyo. Johannesburg to Dubai. Mutual Life Africa’s International Funeral Cover is the only funeral insurance built specifically for African expats — paying out in USD, anywhere in the world, within 48 hours.

Most insurance companies make you choose — cover where you live, or cover back home. Mutual Life Africa refuses that compromise. International Funeral Cover protects both sides of your life, priced in US dollars, valid from the moment you sign up.
Whether you’re an African professional in Houston, a student in Seoul, a nurse in Dubai, a trader in London, or raising a family in Accra — this cover was built for your reality. You carry responsibility across borders. So do we.
USD payouts mean no exchange rate risk. No conversion delays. No waiting. Just money in the right hands at the right time — so your family can focus on saying goodbye, not chasing paperwork.
Who it's for
60 million Africans live outside Africa. Millions more live far from the families they were born into. International Funeral Cover was built for all of them — wherever they are in the world.

Common questions
I live outside Africa — can I still get covered?
Yes. International Funeral Cover is designed for Africans living anywhere in the world — USA, Canada, UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and across Africa itself. If you have internet access and an African connection, you qualify.
Why USD? What if my country uses a different currency?
USD is the world's reserve currency and is accepted — or easily converted — in every country we serve. Pricing and payouts in USD protect you against local currency devaluation. You pay in USD, your beneficiaries receive in USD, and they can convert locally at their discretion.
Which African countries does repatriation cover?
We cover repatriation to 30+ African countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Zambia, Uganda, Cameroon, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and more. The full list is available during signup.
How quickly does the payout reach my family?
Claims are processed within 48 hours of receiving valid documentation through the Mutual Life Africa app. Payouts go directly to your named beneficiary's bank account — in their country, in USD.
Can I add my parents back in Nigeria, Kenya, or Ghana?
Yes. On the Extended and Max Family plans, you can add immediate family members still living in Africa. They are fully covered under your single policy — no separate application required.
What if I move to a different country?
Your policy moves with you. International Funeral Cover is not tied to one country. Update your location in the app and your cover continues uninterrupted — whether you move from London to Lagos, Houston to Harare, or anywhere else.
Is Mutual Life Africa a licensed insurer?
Yes. Mutual Life Africa is a regulated insurance platform operating under applicable financial services regulations. Your cover is backed by licensed underwriters and your policy document is issued upon signup.
