In February, LHV informed investors of the plan to establish a non-life insurance undertaking, which would focus on providing LHV bank customers with motor own damage insurance, motor third party liability insurance, home insurance, and property insurance for small and medium-sized enterprises, and other types of insurance to a lesser extent. The plan is to also offer additional warranty and purchase protection insurance to clients of Euronics. Prerequisites for commencing the operations of the insurance undertaking include receiving a permit from the Competition Authority, concluding an agreement between shareholders, establishing the company, and receiving an activity licence from the Financial Supervision Authority. The process is estimated to take up to one year.
