Caser Expat Insurance

Our History

Caser Seguros was founded in 1942 to serve the Spanish Agricultural Association. Over more than 80 years, we have evolved into a strong and innovative insurance group with a solid presence in the Spanish market. Today, this journey continues under a new name: Helvetia Caser.

Following the integration of the Group’s companies in Spain, completed in December 2025, we are entering a new stage that brings together Caser’s experience and innovative spirit with the strength and customer focus of Helvetia Seguros.

This integration enables us to offer a more comprehensive value proposition, strengthen our service capabilities and face the future with greater financial strength and a broader global outlook.

Helvetia Caser brings together the best of both worlds. Together, we are stronger.
