About us

The ABI is the definitive voice of the UK’s world leading insurance and long-term savings industry, which is the largest sector in Europe and the third largest in the world.

We represent more than 300 firms within our membership including most household names and specialist providers, providing peace of mind to customers.

Our industry employs over 300,000 people in high-skilled, lifelong careers, two-thirds of whom are outside of London. And our members manage investments of £1.4 trillion, contribute £18.5 billion in taxes to the Government and support communities and businesses across the UK.

As a productive, inclusive and essential sector to the UK economy, together, we are driving change to protect and build a thriving society.

We don't sell insurance

Nor are we regulators of the sector. Our role is to get the right people together to help inform public policy debates, with politicians, policymakers and regulators at home and abroad, be the public voice of the sector, promoting the value of its products and highlighting its importance to the wider economy, help encourage consumer understanding of the sector’s products and practices, support a competitive insurance industry, in the UK and overseas.
