For over 75 years, the Insurance Institute of Kenya has been the cornerstone of professional development in the insurance industry, setting standards and empowering professionals across East Africa.
The Insurance Institute of Kenya (IIK) was established in 1948 as the premier professional body for the insurance and financial planning community in Kenya. We are dedicated to promoting professional standards, providing world-class education, and advancing the interests of our members.
Originally formed as an affiliate of the Chartered Insurance Institute London, IIK gained independence in 2002 when it was registered as a society by the Registrar of Societies. Today, we are recognized by the Insurance Regulatory Authority as the industry professional body and are working towards legal recognition status.
