Our Strategy

Our members

We recognise the need to improve customer satisfaction, service levels, and benefits turnaround times and are actively developing strategies to achieve these goals and enhance the lives of our members.

While we have made notable progress in certain areas, we acknowledge that we fell short of our 95% customer satisfaction target as we closed the 2015-2025 strategy. We remain committed to addressing these challenges and continuously improving the overall customer experience.

Customer testimonial

“NSSF was truly an angel sent by God. Thank you for standing with my sister, that money came in at a time when Ann was on the verge of losing her life. I was by her side through the entire COVID period. Today, I won’t hesitate to approach your offices, because Ann is truly a testimony.
