What makes us different

Big enough to make a difference

QBE is one of the world’s leading insurers and reinsurers, with hundreds of specialist products and the ability to cover most business risks. Our global reach means that we can cover your exposures all around the world.

Small enough to be fleet of foot

We pride ourselves on our flexibility and our ability to react quickly when things change. That means we can offer a highly responsive service to our customers, who range from coach fleet operators to major infrastructure consortiums.
