Who we are

Specialist and independent

Our Story

Built on empowerment and transformation

NBC Holdings Proprietary Limited (‘NBC’) is the largest, black-owned and managed employee benefits company in South Africa. It is founded based on the need for inclusivity in retirement fund decision making .

Our founder Max Maisela saw this gap and realised that the members of the funds that he managed, were not being represented on the boards that were meant to serve them.

He then created NBC Holdings which is fully representative and transformed to meet client needs across the African continent.
