QBE European Operations

People who deal with us find us professional, pragmatic and reliable – this is one of the reasons we’re still here after 130 years. Our underwriters are empowered to take decisions that are important to you. (Because we know no computer can replace that human ability.) And we don’t just cover your risk. We help you manage it, meaning that you’re less likely to have to make a claim in the first place.

What makes us different

• Proactive approach: we’re known for our willingness to consider difficult risks that others won’t write, as well as our energy and ability to come up with creative solutions
• Empowered underwriters: our underwriters have local authority to make decisions, so they’re able to respond quickly and efficiently
• Support when you need it most: in the event of a claim, you will see for yourself why our Claims team has a deserved reputation for the professional, efficient and sympathetic way they work with brokers and customers
• Risk management expertise: our hands-on risk management support can help you reduce your claims and lower your premiums
• Comprehensive product range: with hundreds of products, we are able to cover most business risks worldwide
• Business focus: specialising in business insurance means we understand your issues, so whatever you’re experiencing, we’ve almost certainly seen it before and can come up with a solution
