Vero

What Vero does

Vero is an Australian commercial insurance company operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suncorp Group, legally constituted as AAI Limited trading as Vero Insurance. The company distributes its products exclusively through a nationwide network of licensed insurance brokers, operating a dedicated Broker Hub anchored by the VeroEdge portal for quoting, policy administration, and document management. Vero serves Australian businesses from small startups through established large corporations, offering a comprehensive product portfolio structured into SME Packages, Professional and Financial Risks, Motor Fleet and Heavy Vehicle, Property and Liability for medium-to-large businesses, Surety Bonds, Workers' Compensation, Recreational Vehicles, and a Specialty Lines suite for higher hazard and complex risks. Supporting the underwriting product are digital risk management tools branded RM Connect, RM Consult, RM Insights, RM Advancer, and Risk Profiler, marketed as broker and client enablement layers rather than standalone software products. Revenue is generated through commercial insurance premiums across the product portfolio, with quote-based pricing set through brokers on an annual billing cadence; segment coverage spans SME through enterprise on a horizontal basis, with secondary emphasis on trades and construction, professional services, and retail verticals. Operations extend across Australia and New Zealand, with a recent strategic shift bringing certain NZ motor repair operations in-house alongside industry peer IAG.
