Mega Insurance OJSC

What Mega Insurance OJSC does

Meqa Sığorta ASC (Mega Insurance OJSC) is an Azerbaijan-headquartered, publicly held insurance company founded in 2010 that operates as one of the country's leading non-life insurers. The company is licensed for 37 insurance lines, comprising 33 voluntary products (Kasko, voluntary property, voluntary medical, cargo, liability, construction, marine, aviation, energy, cyber, agriculture, banking risks, personal accident, etc.) and 4 compulsory lines (motor third-party liability, property, auditor professional liability, mortgage-linked coverage), and it serves both individuals and corporate clients through dedicated Fərdi and Korporativ segments. The company is a member of the Compulsory Insurance Bureau and the Green Card system, holds an authorized-insurer status with the Azerbaijan Mortgage Fund, and is the first local insurer authorized by the Central Bank to underwrite cyber risk. It is a 100% shareholder of Meqa Həyat Sığorta ASC, a separate life insurance entity, and operates a Sumqayit branch that doubles as the regional representative for the life subsidiary.

The technology stack combines physical distribution with digital self-service: an online sales portal (store.meqasigorta.az, launched August 2025), a mobile application (launched September 2025) with myGov ID authentication, an insurance calculator, and electronic insurance contract issuance integrated with the ISB 9707 SMS gateway. Sixteen-plus branches and representative offices across major Azerbaijani cities, a *8778 call center, and aggregator payment integrations with e-pul.az, Hesab.az, and Infobank.az form the omnichannel distribution layer. AI/NLP capabilities are described for customer communication, chatbot interactions, automated responses, and claims-process automation. Reinsurance cessions to Lloyd's, Munich Re, Swiss Re, Hannover Re, Chubb, AIG, Allianz, Zurich, Generali, QBE, and Sirius, brokered via Marsh & McLennan, Willis Towers Watson, JLT, and Aon, provide risk capacity for large and complex exposures.

Revenue is generated through recurring insurance premiums collected on a subscription/annual billing cadence across compulsory and voluntary lines, with underwriting capacity supported by top-tier reinsurance partners and broker intermediation. The customer base is diversified across millions of individual policyholders (compulsory motor TPL, property, Kasko, travel, Green Card, Mini Kasko, Extra Compulsory) and corporate accounts spanning motor fleet, property, cargo, medical, construction, energy, banking, and aviation risks. Quality management is governed by ISO 9001:2015 (SGS-certified since 2015, recertified in 2022), and consolidated IFRS financials have been audited by Ernst & Young (2016) and KPMG (2019).
