Home» About Us» Sompo Sharia

Sompo Insurance Sharia is a business unit of PT Sompo Insurance Indonesia that manages a variety of insurance products based on the sharia principles of mutual assistance (ta’awun) and mutual protection (takaful) between participants through a collection of funds (Dana Tabarru’) in dealing with certain risks, according to the Wakalah Bil Ujrah agreement.

Sompo Insurance Sharia offers an alternative source of insurance protection with different investment objectives, an approach to surplus distribution, and an oversight system with an ethical dimension. Importantly, the element of uncertainty and earning of interest are removed to make the product compliant with Shariah and incorporate the common goal of providing reasonable financial security against unpredicted catastrophes, disasters, or risks befalling one’s property. Therefore, even though the insurance products offered are identical to conventional products, Sharia products are free from usury, gambling, and uncertainty.

Sompo Insurance Sharia is managed by the board directors of PT Sompo Insurance Indonesia and its compliance is supervised by the Sharia Supervisory Board.
