If is the largest insurance company in the Nordics and the market leader within insurance when it comes to cooperation with car dealers, importers, financing companies and OEMs. We will keep on strengthening our market leading position within insurance and insurance-related mobility services in times when the car industry is going through significant changes in distribution chains and methods.  

About Mobility  
In BU Mobility, we are responsible for offering the best insurance solutions together with our partners, maintaining and strengthening relations with the car industry, development of branding strategies, testing and launching new service models such as UBI concepts, offering related services (e.g. roadside assistance) etc. Our ambition is to reach as many customers as possible with If’s insurance solutions, and at the same time support the building of an efficient and profitable business.  

Sampo, the owner of If, recently acquired TopDanmark and by merging these two companies we will form a huge and strong player in the Danish insurance market and also strengthen our Nordic footprint. There are large potential synergies within the Mobility area. By combining our competencies, tools, volumes, and relations we will be able to make one plus one become three.
