The company’s new SME insurance platform is said to underline the commitment to small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe and draws on a digital-first distribution approach.
It will be initially launched in the Netherlands, UK, Belgium and France with product offerings that include commercial liability, fleet, property and commercial package products.

The digital proposition is directed at improving all areas of the insurance value chain, including claims and finance, noted the company.
