Alpha Insurance A/S
Alpha Insurance A/S was a Danish insurance company that operated in the United Kingdom through an EEA regulatory passport, authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority with reference number FRN 431621. The firm was based at Harbour House, Sundkrogsgade 21, Copenhagen, and was regulated in Denmark by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority.
In May 2018, Alpha Insurance A/S was declared bankrupt by a Danish court, making it one of the largest insurance insolvencies in Scandinavia in recent years. The firm had written policies across a number of European markets, including the United Kingdom, where many policyholders were left with outstanding claims against an insolvent estate.
Alpha Insurance A/S’s EEA passport, which allowed it to write business in the UK, was formally cancelled on 31 December 2020 as part of the post-Brexit removal of EEA firm passports. Former UK policyholders who had claims against Alpha Insurance are advised to seek specialist advice on the options available under both the UK regulatory framework and the Danish bankruptcy estate process.
