RCI Insurance

What RCI Insurance does

RCI Insurance is a captive insurance provider operating through two Malta-incorporated entities — RCI Insurance Limited (C45786) and RCI Life Limited (C45787) — both wholly owned by RCI Services Limited, which is itself a wholly owned subsidiary of Mobilize Financial Services (formerly RCI Banque). The company was incorporated on 10 December 2008 and is authorised under the Insurance Business Act 1998 by the Malta Financial Services Authority to carry on long-term and general insurance business across European markets. Its sole function is to provide insurance solutions to customers of Mobilize Financial Services' automobile financing business across eight European countries: Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Romania, Portugal, Spain, and Poland (Romania operates only the non-life entity).

The product offering is narrow and tied to the auto-finance value chain, comprising gap insurance, credit life insurance, and vehicle protection products designed to cover the gap between outstanding financing and vehicle value in the event of total loss. Technology is limited to a multilingual corporate website (rci-insurance.eu) available in nine languages, serving as the primary interface for e-claims submission, complaint handling, and customer information; no proprietary technology platform, APIs, mobile applications, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. Local claims handling is delegated to third-party administrators (Willis Towers Watson in Romania and Spain, WillCONSULTING in Italy, RCI Versicherung-Services in Germany, RCI GEST SEGUROS in Portugal) and to a customer relations function at DIAC in France.

Revenue is generated exclusively through insurance premiums collected from policyholders who are auto-finance customers of Mobilize, making the business model a recurring premium stream fully embedded in the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance dealer network. Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees, consistent with a lean operating entity that relies on group-level administrative services and outsourced claims administration. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and there are no funding rounds, M&A activity, or independent external investors identified; the company operates as a closed, intra-group insurance vehicle within the broader Mobilize financial services ecosystem.
