A small brokerage, on purpose
Micah Financial Services is run by Anton and Chammy Slabbert from an office in Verwoerdpark, Alberton, looking after clients in every province of South Africa. When you call, one of them answers.
Two people who know your file
Micah Financial Services is an independent short-term insurance brokerage, authorised as a Financial Services Provider under FSP number 46080. We arrange personal and commercial cover for clients throughout South Africa, from Alberton and the East Rand to Cape Town, Durban and everywhere between.
We have deliberately stayed small. It means we cannot be everything to everyone, and we are fine with that. What it buys our clients is continuity: the person who set your policy up is the person who reviews it, and the person who runs your claim. Nobody has to be brought up to speed.
Being independent matters just as much. We are not tied to a single insurer and we are not incentivised to place your business anywhere in particular. We go to the market, compare properly, and recommend what we would take ourselves.
Anton and Chammy Slabbert
With more than 35 years of combined experience in South African short-term insurance, Anton and Chammy Slabbert bring deep industry knowledge and a hands-on, client-first approach to every policy they place.
It was Chammy who first trained Anton in short-term insurance, a partnership that grew into Micah Financial Services, which Anton has built and run for several years. Today they work side by side, structuring cover for businesses, schools and families, and standing by clients through the claims process.
Anton Slabbert
Director and key individual, Micah Financial Services.
Originally from the East Rand town of Boksburg, Anton brings a grounded, no-nonsense approach to the business he and Chammy have built together. Trained in short-term insurance by Chammy, he has built and run Micah Financial Services successfully for several years, and today handles cover placement, renewals and claims for clients across South Africa.
Chammy Slabbert
Director, Micah Financial Services.
Chammy grew up in and around Morningside and Windermere in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, before building a career in short-term insurance that spans decades, with experience at Wealth Associates in Alberton, SA Eagle and Standard Bank. She has trained and mentored many newcomers to the industry, and today works alongside Anton on client service and the day-to-day running of the practice.
Four things we will not compromise on
We tell you when not to buy
If an add-on is not worth the premium for your circumstances, we will say so, even though we earn less. A client who trusts our advice is worth more than one extra section on a policy.
We explain the exclusions
Every policy has things it will not pay for. We would rather have the awkward conversation when you take the cover out than when you are claiming.
We put recommendations in writing
What we advised and why, so there is a record you can hold us to. It is a FAIS requirement, and it is also just good practice.
We ask for as little as possible
We collect the minimum information needed to do the job, keep it only as long as we must, and never sell it. POPIA sets the floor; this is how we would want to be treated ourselves.
“Being small is not a limitation we are apologising for. It is the reason you get the same two voices on the phone every single time.” Micah Financial Services
Come and have a coffee about it.
We are in Verwoerdpark, Alberton, and we are happy to go through your current cover in person, or on WhatsApp, if that is easier.
