Product
Shared-Value Insurance Model
The cornerstone of Discovery’s product strategy as of late 2025 is the Vitality shared-value model, which embeds behavioral science into insurance to drive healthier habits and lower risk.
Vitality uses rewards, discounts and dynamic premium adjustments—over 20m members globally and a reported 12% lower claim frequency in 2024—to nudge healthier behavior.
By reducing claim frequency and severity, Vitality has improved loss ratios by ~3–5 percentage points for key markets, creating a sustainable cycle that benefits insurer margins and member outcomes.
Discovery Bank Behavioral Banking
Discovery Bank is a digital-first bank linking interest rates and fees to customer behavior and Vitality wellness scores; by late 2025 its behavioral pricing covers 800k+ accounts, with up to 3.5 percentage points bonus rate for high Vitality members and fee discounts reducing costs by up to R120/month for engaged users. The centralized mobile app tracks spend, savings and rewards, driving a 22% higher net promoter score and 12% lower default rates among active users.
Comprehensive Health and Life Coverage
Discovery delivers modular health and life cover tailored to 30+ markets, using analytics to match benefits to individual risk; in 2025 the portfolio includes precision medicine links and wearable-driven real-time risk scoring, cutting claims by up to 12% in trials and improving underwriting speed 35%, while premium revenue from these advanced plans reached ZAR 4.2 billion in FY2024.
Discovery Invest and Wealth Management
Discovery Invest and Wealth Management offers local and offshore funds aimed at long-term wealth accumulation, with AUM reported near ZAR 120 billion in 2024.
Fees and investment outcomes link to clients' health status—better health can lower fees and boost returns, encouraging financial and physical commitment.
By 2025 the platform added ESG-focused funds (over 25 options) and automated rebalancing tools with quarterly rebalances and tax-aware logic.
- AUM ~ZAR 120bn (2024)
- Health-linked fees reduce costs for healthier clients
- 25+ ESG funds by 2025
- Automated quarterly rebalancing with tax-aware rules
Vitality Global Platform as a Service
Discovery sells Vitality Platform as a Service to third-party insurers, letting them license Discovery’s IP to run behavioral incentive programs without building tech in-house.
By end-2025 Vitality PaaS is live in dozens of countries, generating a scalable B2B revenue stream—Discovery reported platform partnerships contributing an estimated $150–200m annualized revenue run-rate in 2025.
This establishes Vitality as a de facto global standard for behavioral insurance, lowering partner tech costs and accelerating time-to-market.
