Ownership not researched. The name suggests the Moroccan insurer Wafa Assurance, but nothing retrieved in this pass establishes that - wafaassurance.ma does not mention Gabon on its home page - so no parent is asserted.

Understanding Wafa Assurances Vie

Gabon life business launch

Wafa Assurance’s board report covering 2025 records the launch of Wafa Assurance Vie Gabon’s activities in December 2025. This provides dated company evidence for the local life business and separates its launch from the group’s earlier operations in other African markets.

The report confirms the launch, but detailed current Gabon product terms and servicing routes were not independently established.

About life business

Life assurance can provide a benefit on death or other insured events. Some contracts also include savings or retirement benefits. A life classification alone does not establish which of these products this insurer offers.

General guidance for the directory category. Specific products and terms must be confirmed with Wafa Assurances Vie.

Questions to ask about cover

  • Which insured events trigger payment and who receives the benefit?
  • Are premiums and benefits fixed, reviewable or linked to investments?
  • What happens if I miss a premium or end the policy early?

For an existing policy, use the insurer and service contact named on your policy schedule. Have your policy reference and a short description of the enquiry ready.
