Zego co-founder and CEO Sten Saar said: “Europe is a huge market for us with a lot of exciting opportunities, and by securing a French broker licence, we have given ourselves the freedom to operate without any friction post-Brexit.
“Just like the UK, in Europe we’re seeing a gradual shift from the ownership of vehicles to usership, and our flexible and modern approach to insurance puts us in a great position to meet new demand arising from this trend.”
In February 2020, Zego reached a headcount of 200 after tripling its workforce in the last 12 months.
The London-based insurtech recently surpassed 230 million hours’ worth of flexible insurance policies sold, while also expanding to its fifth European country.
They are also the first insurtech to be awarded its own insurance licence, which allows the company to create and sell its own policies and work with partner insurers.
