Becoming a Member

We endeavour to be a ‘sandbox’ for the many facets that comprise our profession. An institute that encompasses practitioners at the board, management, technical, governance, finance, distribution and related strata. Your participation helps us achieve this.

Please let us know that you are interested in joining us as a member by filling in this form. We will email you to follow up and complete your membership application in due course.

The Malta Insurance Institute is a voluntary, membership-based, organisation.

We sustain our services to members and the community at large primarily through membership fees and learning-related revenue.

If you are interested in joining as a member or in joining one of our events we look forward to hearing from you.

Membership Benefits
