Before you buy from MUA in Uganda

  1. Check that the policy is issued by one of the companies above — the licensed entity, not only the brand.
  2. For motor cover, check a motor sticker by USSD (MTN *165*4*5*5#, Airtel *185*7*6*1#).
  3. Ask for the schedule and the exclusions in writing, and compare them with at least one other insurer.
  4. Keep in mind the claim rule that applies to every insurer: IRA's claims guide gives 10 working days to pay after the signed discharge for claims up to UGX 10 million (15 up to 50 million, 20 above).
  5. If something goes wrong, complain to the insurer, then to IRA's online Complaints Bureau (iracomplaints.go.ug).

The rules above come from our guides: check a cover, licensed insurers and how to complain.
