# AWA Africa > AssurTech that digitalizes insurance operations for carriers, brokers, and distributors across West Africa ## At a glance | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Category | Distribution & Sales | | Type | Solutions Provider | | Region | EMEA | | Headquarters | Dakar, Sénégal | | Stage | Startup | | Employees | 1-10 | ## Overview AWA Africa is a Dakar, Sénégal-based insurance technology provider building digital distribution, brokerage, and claims platforms for carriers, brokers, and distributors across Francophone West Africa. The company positions itself as a technical partner for the digitalization of insurance processes, combining custom software development with consulting and systems-integration services. The product suite spans the insurance value chain rather than a single point solution: distribution and resale, brokerage operations, claims handling, health insurance administration, mobile underwriting, and payments. Several products integrate with West African mobile-money rails (Wave, Orange Money) and WhatsApp, reflecting a mobile-first approach suited to the regional market. ScanPay Assurances, a document-scan mobile underwriting product, lets a customer purchase a policy in roughly three minutes by scanning identification and vehicle documents. The company is early-stage, with a small named engineering team and an insurance-side lead listed on its site; no external funding, investor, or employee-count disclosures were found. Product testimonials on the site come from individual insurance brokers rather than named corporate customers. ## Products & services ### AWA Assurance Distribution Platform enabling distributors to resell insurance products, with dematerialized contracts and fully online subscription flows. ### AWA Assurance Santé Multi-interface health insurance platform serving providers, insurers, and HR/client users, including a WhatsApp-based portal for policyholders. ### AWA Assurance Sinistres Claims management platform with automated workflows and real-time claim tracking. ### AWA Courtage Brokerage management platform covering client creation, rate comparison, and automated client follow-up for insurance brokers. ### AWA Paiement Payment management tool for insurance transactions; described on the company site as still in development. ### ScanPay Assurances Mobile underwriting product that lets a customer purchase an insurance policy in roughly three minutes via document scanning of identification and vehicle documents. ### AWA Connect WhatsApp-based campaign and data-collection tool used for customer engagement and lead and data gathering. ## Category & focus - Subcategories: Digital distribution platforms, Brokerage management, Mobile underwriting, Claims management, Health insurance administration - Insurance verticals: P&C Personal, Health - Target customers: Carriers, Brokers, Agents/Agencies, Consumers ## Links - Website: - Directory profile: - Facebook: - Linkedin: --- *Last updated: 2026\-08\-07*
