UNION Versicherungsdienst

What UNION Versicherungsdienst does

UNION Versicherungsdienst GmbH is a German insurance brokerage firm headquartered in Detmold, operating as a specialized broker brand serving organ and committee members of the Paritätischen (Parity Association) and their facilities within the social economy sector, including youth welfare, elderly care, ambulatory services, and educational institutions. The company procures and mediates insurance products covering organizational liability, management and governing-body protection, fleet, cyber risks, and tailored coverage for people with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and elderly individuals through its Competence Centrum Behindertenhilfe (CCB) sub-brand.

The business runs with no proprietary technology stack of its own; it leverages the digital infrastructure of its parent, the Ecclesia Gruppe, including the ecconnect customer portal, online claims submission (Online-Schadenmeldung), and ecosystem solutions such as ecmobility (fleet), eccyber (cybersecurity with NIS-2 compliance support), and ecpensionbenefits (employee benefits). Service portfolio extends from risk consulting and risk management through to claims management and the development of customized coverage concepts.

UNION generates revenue through commissions from insurance carriers for policies placed on behalf of social-economy clients, supplemented by ongoing advisory, risk-management, and claims-management fees. GTM is sales-led via direct relationship management with the Paritätischer member network, supported by content marketing (corporate website, newsroom/Trend Report 2026) and direct consultation channels (phone, email, contact form). The company operates with operational independence but draws on Ecclesia Gruppe capabilities for complex coverage needs, and its addressable market is restricted to Germany.
