About Qatar Insurance Company
Qatar Insurance Company, known as QIC, is one of the largest insurance groups in the Middle East. Founded in Qatar in 1964 and listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange, it has expanded across the Gulf and internationally.
QIC provides general insurance, including motor, property, marine, energy, medical and liability cover, along with reinsurance and specialty insurance through international subsidiaries.
Its digital brand has offered online motor and travel insurance in some Gulf markets, reflecting a push towards direct digital sales.
In the UAE, international insurers operate through branches or subsidiaries licensed by the Central Bank, competing with local insurers for corporate and individual customers.
Energy and marine insurance are areas where large regional insurers like QIC have particular expertise, given the Gulf's oil, gas and shipping industries.
Like other insurers, QIC has faced challenges in some international markets and has refocused on its core regional business in recent years.
Qatar Insurance is a Qatari company rather than a UAE startup, and Startups UAE lists it among the regional insurers active in the UAE.
