What our customers have to say.

Esther Tabirri

«Both my parents and I have been insured with SWICA for our entire lives. We have never had any problems or experienced any disappointments. We couldn’t be happier!»

Mattia Baldi

«My family and I trust in SWICA. I was a professional ice hockey player for 14 years and accidents were the order of the day. Our medical team always looked after us extremely well. After my sports career ended, I decided that I wanted the same care and security for my family and myself. With SWICA I’ve found the ideal partner for my family.»

Nick Schoberth

«I’m never really ill, but during my summer holidays the SWICA helpline provided me with rapid straightforward help, even though I was abroad at the time and in a different time zone.»
