APA Insurance’s contact centre is +254 709 912 777, its WhatsApp line is +254 748 664 100 and its email is info@apainsurance.org. Pay general insurance premiums to M-Pesa paybill 511600 and APA Life premiums to paybill 527600. The head office is at Apollo Centre, Ring Road Parklands, Westlands, Nairobi, and the company lists 13 offices across Kenya.
APA Insurance is part of the Apollo Group, which also owns APA Life Assurance, APA Uganda, Apollo Asset Management and Reliance Insurance in Tanzania. Because the general and life businesses are separate companies, they use different paybills and portals. Paying into the wrong one is the most common mistake customers make, so this guide sets out which number does what, how to report a claim and where every branch is.

How to Pay APA Insurance Premiums With M-Pesa
APA publishes two paybills. Pick the one for the company that issued your policy, which is printed on your policy schedule or renewal notice.
- Open M-Pesa and choose Lipa na M-Pesa, then Pay Bill.
- Enter 511600 for APA Insurance (general covers such as motor or medical) or 527600 for APA Life.
- For the account number, enter your policy number exactly as it appears on your documents. APA does not publish a separate account format on its contact page, so if you are unsure, ask the contact centre before paying.
- Enter the amount, then your M-Pesa PIN, and keep the confirmation SMS.
- Send the M-Pesa message and your policy number to info@apainsurance.org or the WhatsApp line if the payment does not show on your policy within a reasonable time.
For general tips on avoiding wrong-account payments, see our guide to paying a paybill with M-Pesa.
How to Report a Claim With APA
APA’s Make a Claim page on its website runs claims through an online form. You first pick the product you are claiming on. The options listed are:
- Motor claim for accidents, theft or damage to an insured vehicle.
- Health claim for medical covers, including reimbursement of bills.
- Life claim (personal) for individual life policies.
- Life claim (group) for employer-arranged group life schemes.
You can also start or follow up a claim through the contact centre on +254 709 912 777. For hospital admissions under a medical cover, APA gives a dedicated line, +254 709 912 888.
Documents to have ready
APA’s claim page does not list every document by product, but these are the items Kenyan insurers usually ask for, so gather them before you start:
- Your policy number and a copy of your ID or company registration papers.
- For motor claims: the driver’s licence, the logbook or proof of ownership, photos of the damage and a police abstract for accidents and theft. Our guide on how to get a police abstract explains how to get one.
- For health claims: original invoices, receipts, the doctor’s report and prescriptions.
- For life claims: the death certificate, the claimant’s ID and the policy document.
Report a motor accident as soon as you can. Delays make it harder to inspect the vehicle and can be a reason for questions about the claim. For a wider look at how claims run at other big insurers, read how insurance claims work with CIC, Madison and Britam.

How Fast APA Says It Will Respond
APA’s customer service charter, published on its About Us page, sets these targets:
| Channel | Promised response time |

If a complaint is not resolved within those timelines, put it in writing to info@apainsurance.org and keep a copy. Insurers in Kenya are regulated by the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA), which handles complaints that an insurer fails to resolve.
What APA Insurance Covers
APA’s website lists personal covers including Bima Bamba, private motor, travel insurance, home cover (domestic package), pet insurance, personal accident, golfers cover and family health covers such as Jamii Plus. It also sells marine, agriculture and business covers. Compare medical options in our guide to medical insurance covers in Kenya, and see where APA sits among the biggest insurance companies in Kenya. For public health cover questions, use the SHA contacts guide instead, because SHA is separate from private insurance.
