SquareTrade is the fastest growing partner in the global device protection market and we

products, always available online claim filing and our flexible resolution options, are all
underpinned by our exceptional team. This is the secret behind how we’ve continued to
shake up the industry. We are the ones transforming a “bad” service category into
something that empowers people to take care of the things that keep life running
smoothly. Together, we’re united by the same end goal: to completely change what people
expect from an insurance plan.
We now protect over 140 million devices globally and work across Europe, with partners
including Apple, T-Mobile and Telenor. We have been first to market with a number of key
innovations, including fully-digital claims, choice of resolution option, next day exchange
and same-day services via local and on-site repair. Our European ambition continues to
grow as we step into new sectors including B2B, CE insurance and trade in products.
