Købstædernes Forsikring

What Købstædernes Forsikring does

Købstædernes Forsikring (KF) is a Danish customer-owned mutual insurance company (Gensidig) founded in 1765 and headquartered at Strandgade 27A, Copenhagen. It is one of Denmark's largest kundeejet insurance companies, offering a comprehensive catalog spanning car, home, contents, accident, pet, income, annual travel, health, and various vehicle insurance lines for private customers, alongside a growing commercial book that includes cyber, workers' compensation, property, business interruption, and a bundled TotalErhverv package for businesses.

The company operates a multi-channel distribution model combining direct-to-consumer online self-service through the MitKF customer portal (with a 10% online discount), phone-based advisory support on weekdays, field agents for complex business insurance, and an extensive network of partner distribution channels including PFA, Jyske Bank, Djøf, several regional savings banks, and a newly announced 2026 partnership with Coop. Core technology is a digital insurance platform with online quoting, MitID-based authentication, online claims reporting, and automated processing for standardized claim types. Value-added integrations include Hejdoktor for pet insurance vet consultations, Falck Global Assistance for travel medical pre-approval, and AS3 for income-insurance job counseling.

KF is governed by a Delegated Assembly elected by policyholders, ensuring customer ownership without shareholders. The company earned a 217 million DKK pre-tax result in 2025 while materially strengthening insurance reserves, signaling both underwriting discipline and balance-sheet reinforcement. It is supervised by Finanstilsynet and has undergone functional examinations and EU sanctions compliance reviews during 2025, both without adverse supervisory reaction.
