Nationale Suisse granted insurance licence in Singapore

It'll also tap other Asian markets.

According to a release, Nationale Suisse’s new Singapore branch has received a licence from the local authorities allowing it to insure risks directly and to offer facultative reinsurance in Singapore and other Asian markets.

This branch office of the Basel-based parent company is fully operational with immediate effect and offers tailored solutions in the engineering, marine and art sectors. It represents another long-term driver of growth and income for Nationale Suisse.

Having been involved in the Asian economic arena for seven years now from its regional base in Malaysia, the international Swiss insurance company Nationale Suisse has now received an insurance licence from the Monetary Authority of Singapore for its new branch in Singapore.

This allows the company to underwrite more primary insurance and facultative reinsurance in Asia. The newly licensed branch office of the Swiss parent company is operating under the name Swiss National Insurance Company Ltd (Singapore Branch) and is commencing its activities with immediate effect.

Hans Künzle, CEO of the Nationale Suisse Group, said: “Our increased presence in Asia will bring us even closer to the market players in this up-and-coming region, enabling us to better exploit its potential. We are thus creating another key driver of growth and income to underpin the long-term development of our specialty line business.”

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
