The history of Univé
Univé was founded in 1794 as a small mutual insurance company, based on the idea of solidarity and shared responsibility.
Over the centuries, Univé has grown into one of the largest cooperative insurers in the Netherlands, offering a wide range of insurance services, including health, car, home, and bicycle insurance.
What sets Univé apart is its cooperative structure, meaning it operates without the primary goal of generating profits for shareholders. Instead, Univé focuses on providing the best possible services and products to its members.
