Qover and Helvetia Deepen Partnership Beyond Automotive
Qover and Helvetia have extended their partnership beyond automotive insurance to encompass multiple product lines across European markets.
The expanded collaboration builds on their existing relationship within Helvetia's International Automotive division.
The partnership targets the embedded insurance sector, which industry analysts project will reach US$30bn globally by 2030.
Research from EY indicates that more than 30% of insurance transactions will flow through embedded channels by 2028.
Joint operations scale across Europe
The companies reported supporting over 80,000 policyholders across more than 10 programmes during 2024.
Qover operates across 32 European countries through its modular insurance orchestration platform.
The Brussels-based insurtech works with financial services companies including Revolut, Monzo and ING, alongside insurance carriers and other commercial partners.
The company's platform enables third-party businesses to integrate insurance products directly into their customer journeys.
Helvetia operates its Partner Business division across multiple European markets.
The Swiss insurer's International Automotive unit focuses on embedded motor insurance products distributed through digital channels and partnerships.
“We are excited to be strengthening and expanding our long-standing collaboration with Qover, a key platform partner within our Helvetia International Automotive ecosystem and beyond,” says Tilo Schroiff, head of Helvetia International Automotive.
“This will enable us to offer our customers an expanded range of comprehensive, integrated products and drive further internationalisation within the European Economic Area.”
Technology integration drives distribution
The partnership structure allows both companies to share market opportunities and develop omnichannel insurance solutions.
The collaboration spans product development, technology integration and market expansion across the European Economic Area.
Qover's platform provides the technical infrastructure for embedded insurance distribution, whilst Helvetia contributes underwriting capacity and regulatory expertise across multiple jurisdictions.
The arrangement enables rapid scaling of insurance products without requiring extensive regulatory approvals in each market.
The companies plan to expand their joint operations during 2025, focusing on new geographic regions and enhanced customer experiences.
The partnership framework supports both companies' growth strategies in the embedded insurance market.
“We're proud to collaborate with Helvetia to create seamless, intuitive insurance experiences for customers across multiple platforms, reflecting our shared commitment to innovation and excellence”
Market dynamics support expansion
The embedded insurance sector has attracted increased investment as traditional insurance distribution models face pressure from digital transformation.
Financial services companies seek to monetise their customer relationships by offering insurance products alongside banking and payment services.
European regulatory frameworks support embedded insurance distribution through harmonised rules across EU member states.
The Insurance Distribution Directive provides a consistent regulatory approach for insurance intermediation across multiple jurisdictions.
Consumer behaviour shifts towards digital-first insurance purchasing have accelerated adoption of embedded products.
Customers increasingly expect insurance options to be available at the point of purchase for goods and services, rather than through separate insurance shopping processes.
The partnership enables both companies to respond to these market dynamics while maintaining regulatory compliance across multiple European markets.
The collaboration provides scale benefits in technology development and operational efficiency.
“With this long-standing partnership with Helvetia, we're combining cutting-edge technology with pan-European scalability to deliver quality solutions tailored to consumer needs,” says Quentin Colmant, CEO and co-founder of Qover.
“We're proud to collaborate with Helvetia to create seamless, intuitive insurance experiences for customers across multiple platforms, reflecting our shared commitment to innovation and excellence.”
