QBE buys Secura NV from KBC Group

QBE has completed its acquisition of Belgium-based specialist reinsurer Secura NV.

It comes after QBE reached an agreement with KBC Group in July to buy Secura for €267m.

Secura employs 86 staff and is expected to have gross written premiums around €200m in 2010.

KBC’s parental guarantee of Secura NV will no longer apply to new contracts and renewals, QBE said.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
