mTek Rebrands as bolttech Kenya Six Months After Acquisition

Kenyan digital insurance platform mTek has been renamed bolttech Kenya and moved onto the bolttech brand, six months after the global insurtech bought the business.

What was announced

On 22 June 2026, mTek Services took the name bolttech Kenya. bolttech said the rebrand changes nothing in the services, partner offers or agreements mTek customers and partners already have.

Stephan Tan, CEO EMEA at bolttech, called the rebrand an important milestone in expanding the company's footprint in Africa.

Context

Founded in 2019, mTek built a platform that lets Kenyan consumers compare, buy and manage insurance online. bolttech acquired it in December 2025, months after entering Kenya through a partnership with Loop. The rebrand follows the same path as earlier bolttech acquisitions such as AVA Insurance in Singapore, Axle Asia in Indonesia and Digital Care in Poland, which were each brought under the bolttech name.

Why it matters

A single brand lets bolttech sell the same embedded insurance proposition to telcos, banks and retailers in Kenya that it sells elsewhere, backed by a local platform that already has customers. It also sets up the wider African push now led by mTek's founder, Bente Krogmann, as General Manager for Africa.
