History
1Life Insurance was founded in 2006 and began its operations as a direct life insurer in South Africa. In 2012, the company introduced a USSD policy management service for its policyholders and adopted saliva-based HIV testing as an alternative to blood tests.

By 2021, the company introduced its own brokerage service.

In June 2021, 1Life collaborated with LifeQ and Samsung South Africa to develop a COVID-19 screening app. The app uses physiological data combined with user input to provide early alerts for potential infections even before symptoms appear.

In April 2023, 1Life Insurance introduced a product, the 1Life Wills and Estate Plan, designed to address estate planning issues, including estate liquidity shortfalls.

In November 2023, it was announced that Clientèle will acquire 1Life Insurance from Telesure Investment Holdings for R1.91 billion. The acquisition will be completed by June 2024.
