Notes to Editors
Protean Risk is a Lloyd’s broker that provides specialist insurance broking services to firms in the investment industry, financial services and technology sectors. We now have over 500 clients in these sectors ranging from start-ups to international corporations.
Protean Risk has set itself apart as an insurance provider by creating new and innovative insurance products and solutions, as demonstrated by launching PSD Bond in 2018 and developing the first ‘PSD2 compliant’ PI insurance policy. We now place insurance for the majority of UK authorised AISP and PISP firms. Our objective is to continue our innovative approach in the crypto sector.
When Protean Risk was formed in 2008, the aim was to combine the knowledge and experience gained from working for large, global insurance broking firms with a high level of personal service and attention. We recognised the importance of this personal approach in helping companies achieve better insurance results. Remaining true to our core values of sector specialisation, personal service and problem solving, has helped us to grow and in 2016 we became a Lloyd’s Broker.
