About PZU

PZU’s new strategy 3.0 is based on the assumption that by the end of 2020 the PZU Group will reach and maintain the leading position in all of its key business areas: insurance, investments and healthcare. The following tools will be applied to reach these objectives: claims handling procedures, second to none in Poland, products that are clear and easy to understand, a network of private healthcare centers, growing importance of the PZU Group’s international business, complementary offers of the PZU and LINK4 brands, full implementation of a digital operating system, to name just a few. In accordance with this strategy, for 2 years PZU has been acquiring selected providers of medical services in order to create its own network of partnering medical centers. In 2015, the PZU Group also acquired Alior Bank to serve as the foundation for an institution that will be among the top 5 players in the Polish banking market.

PZU is the market leader in the Polish insurance services market, particularly in non-life insurance, with a 32.9% (together with Link 4) market share as at the end of Q2 2015. It is the oldest Polish insurance group offering a broad range of insurance and financial products. The principal product group offered by PZU is motor insurance for retail and corporate clients. PZU Życie is the market leader in Polish life insurance services in terms of regular gross written premiums – a 43.4% market share as at the end of Q2 2015. PZU and PZU Życie each have an A financial strength rating and counterparty credit rating from Standard & Poor’s, with a stable outlook for both companies. This is the highest rating available to Polish companies. For more information, please visit www.pzu.pl.
