Gjensidige also provides life and pension solutions, savings products and select banking services, enabling it to serve both retail and corporate customers with integrated risk-management offerings.
Through a multi-channel distribution model, Gjensidige reaches its customers via a network of local agents, brokers and digital platforms.

Tracing its origins to mutual aid societies founded in the early 19th century, Gjensidige transitioned into a publicly traded company in 2010 while preserving strong member-based governance through the Gjensidige Foundation. Over two centuries of evolution have underpinned the company’s emphasis on customer service, risk expertise and financial solidity, attributes that continue to inform its business strategy and product development.
Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Helge Leiro Baastad, Gjensidige pursues digital innovation and operational efficiency, focusing on streamlined claim handling and data-driven underwriting.
