Seesam Insurance

What Seesam Insurance does

Seesam Insurance is a property and casualty insurance brand operating in Estonia as the consumer-facing identity of Compensa Vienna Insurance Group, ADB Estonian branch, which is itself part of Vienna Insurance Group (VIG). The brand was established in Estonia around 1989 and, following the July 2020 merger of Seesam Insurance AS into Compensa, continues to underwrite a full-stack P&C book in Estonia. It serves three customer segments: individual consumers (Eraklient) for motor, home, travel, accident, pet, and small vessel insurance; business customers (Äriklient) for commercial property, liability, fleet, cargo, construction, and employee health insurance; and housing associations (Korteriühistu) for collective building and liability coverage. Distribution is hybrid: 8 physical sales offices across Estonia, an e-commerce platform (pood.seesam.ee), a phone sales/service line, regional dedicated business account managers, and embedded bank partnerships with Luminor, Citadele, Coop Pank, and Esto for claims and payment protection products.

The underlying technology stack is a standard insurance core (policy administration, claims, billing) with a self-service web front end, an automatic card payment renewal mechanism, the Seesam 360 loyalty program that accrues bonus money against multi-product holdings, and the DriveX vehicle-photography app that uses machine vision to support casco underwriting. The company is ISO 14001 certified under the VIG Group sustainability program, which targets climate neutrality by 2030 and zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Revenue is generated almost entirely through collected insurance premiums across personal and commercial lines, paid primarily on annual subscription cadences, with a 10% online-purchase discount on MTPL and a tiered pricing structure across product lines. Product breadth, 35 years of Estonian market presence, a 97% claims settlement rate, and a 'Best Insurance Online 2024' recognition together underpin the value proposition, while back-office scale and capital strength are provided by the parent VIG group.
