V.I.G. companies in Austria

Wiener Städtische is the largest insurance company in Austria, and offers innovative products providing its customers with modern insurance solutions in the property/casualty, life insurance and health insurance segments. The company is represented by more than 3,000 advisors in around 150 offices throughout Austria. In addition to Austria, Wiener Städtische also has branch offices in Italy and Slovenia.

The Wiener Städtische slogan, “We wish your problems were ours”, is at the core of all efforts made by Wiener Städtische employees to satisfy their customers. The company has been offering its customers security in many areas of their lives for 185 years now, and its experience and success are a guarantee of stability even in economically difficult times.

Wiener Städtische’s extensive range of products provides innovative and modern insurance solutions in all business areas. The products stand out by their great flexibility, are strongly guided by customer needs, and reflect current economic developments.

More than 140 years of experience in highly eventful times, expertise and reliability have made Donau into one of the Austrian insurance companies that have decisively helped in shaping the market. Over 1,300 employees in eight provincial headquarters and many offices throughout Austria offer around 530,000 customers custom-tailored insurance coverage to meet their needs.

Donau is now offering its customers an even broader product portfolio. After receiving its licence from the Financial Market Authority, the company began offering an extensive range of private health insurance products in March 2010.

Donau is now responding to Austrians’ increased healthcare awareness by offering products in the health insurance segment ranging all the way from special class insurance and outpatient treatment to nursing care insurance. Donau health insurance products will also include special supplementary benefits such as free choice of a physician, payment of expenses incurred by an adult accompanying a child undergoing treatment, or at-home help and assistance.

Now exactly 25 years old, s Versicherung is one of the youngest insurance companies in the Austrian market. With a portfolio of around 1.1 million insurance policies, it is also one of the most successful.

The products offered by s Versicherung comprise all forms of personal and business old-age provision products that make use of life, nursing care, casualty and pension insurance. Together with Wiener Städtische, it also offers Erste Bank customers and customers of the Sparkasse Group custom-tailored solution packages for household and home-owners insurance, as well as building shell insurance.

s Versicherung expanded its product range in 2009, offering health insurance to its customers for the first time in cooperation with Wiener Städtische. This is sold as supplementary health insurance in combination with the “s Unfall” casualty insurance product, and as a stand-alone product in the form of a traditional health insurance policy with special class coverage.
