Assurant is a protection company that works with consumer brands to protect and service connected devices, homes and vehicles. Its offerings include mobile device protection, extended service contracts for consumer electronics and appliances, vehicle service contracts, and various insurance products. For mobile customers it also runs trade-in and upgrade schemes, technical support and device repair, refurbishment and resale, supported by a network of around 1,150 repair and partner locations and dedicated device care centres.
The business underwrites these policies and contracts and provides the administrative services behind them — programme design, claims handling, risk management and logistics — earning premiums and fees. It follows a business-to-business-to-consumer model, selling through partners such as mobile carriers, handset manufacturers, retailers, cable operators, banks, insurers, auto dealers and equipment lenders, who market the cover to their own customers.
Assurant is organised into two segments: Global Lifestyle, covering Connected Living and Global Automotive; and Global Housing, covering homeowners, flood, renters and related insurance. It operates across North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific, with Global Lifestyle concentrated in North America. Incorporated in Delaware in 2004, it depends heavily on a small number of mobile-ecosystem clients.
