Political Risk, Political Violence and Terrorism

In an increasingly volatile geopolitical climate, you need dependable protection for your commercial operations from underwriters who understand your precise needs.

We cover businesses worldwide against losses arising from war on land, confiscation and expropriation, political violence and terrorism. Cover includes compensation for losses affecting both fixed and movable assets, as well as business interruption and physical damage.

Experts in our field

QBE has more than 20 years’ experience in this line of business and has been involved in writing many of the market wordings in use today. Our deep experience and specialist product knowledge equip us to deliver solutions for some of the more unusual risks our customers face.

A customer-centred approach

At QBE, we place strong emphasis on putting the customer at the heart of our underwriting process. We pride ourselves on offering solutions that are tailored to the precise needs of our individual customers, wherever a risk is located – and whether it is big or small, high-profile or discreet.
