Overview
Europ Assistance is a French assistance and travel insurance company, part of the Generali Group, founded in 1963 as the pioneer of the assistance service concept. It does not have a local subsidiary in Finland; instead it operates on a cross-border basis and via its Irish branch (Europ Assistance S.A., Irish Branch), providing travel insurance and assistance benefits embedded in payment cards (e.g. American Express) and travel bookings sold to Finnish residents. In 2026 the group began rebranding globally as 'Redion'.
