Global insurance for Multinational Business Exposures
Why Zurich?
The world is more accessible than ever before and U.S. companies in foreign territories may face complex and even unforeseen risks. Insurance regulations and coverage requirements may vary significantly from one nation to the next, sometimes changing with little warning. Moving premiums and claims funds from one country to another can be equally difficult and confusing. All of this can make implementing a uniform, compliant risk management program a real challenge.
As one of a few truly global insurers (serving customers in 215 countries and territories), Zurich offers the knowledge, experienced and dedicated international underwriters, and the wide-reaching network needed to provide multinational businesses with insurance and risk management programs fully aligned across the countries where you may have exposures. We have underwritten international programs for more than four decades, providing Property, Casualty, Risk Engineering and Claims services around the globe.
