The Group

Our lives are marked by a succession of milestones. Some are brought about by our projects, signs of hope, enthusiasm and realisation. Others are related to life events, which are the cause of uncertainty and even concern. Since our creation, we have been supporting our partners’ customers through all of these key moments.

Our goals

Protecting yourself in your projects should never be a test. At Kereis, we make the quality and transparency of our services a priority. We walk side by side with our customers, our employees and our partners, with sustainability at the heart of our concerns and actions.

The benchmark broker specialized in personal insurance

The expertise of our employees enables our partners and end customers to benefit from tailor-made solutions combining the best of Human and Digital worlds. We co-build with our partners the solutions adapted to their needs: design of offers, sale, sales assistance, contract management and service delivery, thanks to the wealth of our brands. Bankers, insurers, specialised financial services, wholesale or proximity brokers, or online brokers gain access to our know-how regardless of their method of distribution.

The digital world to simplify and make life easier for our partners and customers

We put the development of tools to facilitate the daily lives of each of our partners and policyholders at the heart of our strategy. At every stage of the process of subscribing a service, or from the life of a contract to the management of a claim, we ensure that what should never be complex is as simple as possible. Our innovations speak for us: digital insured space with Cbp4you, Odisea Extranet, secure transfer to Cbp of the insured’s data by the health insurance provider in the event of absence from work, artificial intelligence solutions (Minalea). With Kereis Technologies, we support our partners’ digital transformation. We offer infomanagement solutions with a package of available applications, distribution and management.
