Gefion enters liquidation after it loses insurance license – What does this mean for my fleet?
The troubled Danish provider says it is “disappointed” after Danish regulator refuses three-month extension to its recovery period forcing it into run-off. The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority’s (DFSA) has withdrawn unrated provider Gefion Insurance’s license as an insurance company. As a result, Gefion has entered into solvent liquidation and will no longer write new business or renewals.
This was despite a €6m (£5.5m) capital injection from existing backer Fermat last October, and the insurer further bolstering its liquidity by €5m.
The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority has now stated: “The DFSA has refused to grant Gefion Insurance an extension of three months of the recovery period and therefore has withdrawn the company’s license as insurance company.
Please note that no further adjustments (such as changes of car/address/driver) are now permitted to existing policies. You may wish to take out alternative cover with another insurer.
Claims arising under existing policies currently continue to be paid.
If you are insured with Gefion and aren’t sure what this means for you and your cover then please feel free to contact our fleet specialists on 0151 353 3861 who can discuss your options and help you find a replacement insurer at your renewal date.
