Zurich-backed insurance technology company Qover has secured full authorisation from the UK’s financial services regulator Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
The insurtech stated that the licence will guarantee its continuous expansion across Europe after Brexit.
Qover added that the FCA authorisation follows seven years of business operations in the UK market and bolsters its position in both the UK and Europe.
Quentin Colmant and Jean-Charles Velge co-founded Qover in 2016 in Brussels, Belgium.
Qover allows clients to embed insurance as a native component of or as an add-on to their core offerings.
Its platform is said to provide digital insurance access to more than three million customers across 32 European nations.
