Zurich Sigorta

What Zurich Sigorta does

Zurich Sigorta A.Ş. is a Turkish joint stock insurance company operating as the Turkish subsidiary of Zurich Insurance Group, a Switzerland-based global insurance conglomerate publicly traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange (ZURN). The company is described as Turkey's largest international investor in insurance and operates a property and casualty (P&C / elementer) franchise spanning six product pillars: business insurance (including SMEs, hotels, agriculture, and large enterprises), home insurance (including compulsory DASK earthquake coverage), vehicle insurance (including compulsory traffic and yacht), personal security insurance (digital security, pickpocket, password security), health insurance (supplementary, emergency, travel), and personal accident insurance. The portfolio is delivered through a hybrid distribution model combining an independent agent network (acenteler), exclusive bancassurance with TEB (Türk Ekonomi Bankası) extended in 2021 for another 10 years, a new strategic bancassurance partnership with Alternatif Bank (2024), a direct-to-consumer digital portal (zip.zurichsigorta.com.tr), a call center, and an authorized repair and service network covering all 81 provinces of Turkey.

The company's revenue model is built on insurance premiums collected annually across individual, SME, and large-enterprise policy lines, with pricing risk-based and partially regulated (notably compulsory traffic insurance). On the technology side, Zurich Sigorta runs an insurance technology platform supporting the full P&C product set and is building a new-generation enterprise AI infrastructure in partnership with Abra Partners — combining generative AI, voice technologies, and document understanding to automate policy, quote, revision, and post-sale processes; this initiative is grant-funded by the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology. The company also operates notable digital and data initiatives, including pet insurance for the Neşeli Patiler customer base, telematics capability inherited from the parent group's acquisition of Bright Box, and a strong content and ESG footprint (Istanbul Film Festival sponsorship since 2013, Global Risks Report with Marsh and TÜSİAD, the 'Yan Yanayız' psychosocial support program after the Türkiye earthquakes, the 'Eğitimin Sigortası: Öğretmenlerimiz' rural-teacher program with the Ministry of National Education, and a Climate Resilience for Communities project in Izmir with ICLEI and Z Zurich Foundation).

In March 2025, Zurich Türkiye completed the acquisition of NN Hayat ve Emeklilik A.Ş. from NN Group, extending the franchise from P&C into individual pension, life, and health insurance, while simultaneously rationalizing its prior Mapfre Yaşam stake. Customer segments are segmented horizontally across individual/retail, SME (KOBİ), and large enterprise (Büyük İşletmeler); go-to-market combines enterprise field sales, channel partners (bank distribution), and direct-to-consumer digital, with the company recognized as the only insurer in Turkey's top-10 Best Employers list and as a multi-year recipient of ŞikayetVar A.C.E. customer experience awards.
