For certain Sanlam services, you can log in using your ID number, which can be a convenient option. This is particularly common for Sanlam Reality, their loyalty and rewards program, as well as some credit and insurance products.
If you’re looking to log in to a Sanlam account using your South African ID number, here’s what you need to know:
1. Sanlam Secure Services (General Clients)
-
Standard login: Most Sanlam clients access their accounts via Sanlam Secure Services using a username and password.
-
However, as an alternative, you can log in with your 13-digit South African ID number combined with a one-time PIN (OTP) sent to your registered phone or email.
To Register:
-
Visit the Sanlam website and click Login.
-
Select Register.
-
Provide your ID number, mobile number, and email.
-
Receive the OTP and set your password.
2. Sanlam Reality Members
If you’re using Sanlam Reality, there are two login options:
-
Basic login: Use your Sanlam Reality membership number or South African ID number for limited access.
-
Preferred login: Requires registration for Sanlam Secure Services—access with a username and password. This grants full access to all features.
