Insurance for Insurance Companies
Empowering insurers to protect the future
For the insurers who provide protection to so many others, the ability to manage risk is fundamental. But insurance companies must contend with the same risks many businesses face – whilst continuing to provide uninterrupted service to their insureds. Since 1864, Travelers has protected countless businesses and individuals. And there is perhaps no sector we know better than our own.
Our insurance for insurance companies is crafted to meet the unique challenges of our industry. With expertise informed by vast and varied claims data, we empower our insureds with our financial strength – and a credit rating that few insurers of financial institutions in the London market have achieved. This financial stability allows us to offer extraordinary flexibility and breadth of coverage. Our appetite for risk spans multiple jurisdictions and includes general as well as property and casualty insurers. And participation is available on a primary or excess basis.
At Travelers, supporting the ambitions of insurance companies means making our strength their shield. So that we’re all a bit more secure.
