In their own words

About the company & team

It is composed of three different companies: BanSabadell Vida, BanSabadell Pensiones, and BanSabadell Seguros Generales; the ownership of which is shared 50% between both partners.

The Sabadell Zurich workforce is made up of around 300 people, who, at an organizational level, are counted as part of the Zurich Group in Spain structure.

We have already set things in motion and we are changing the way insurance is done. For this, we need people with talent, desire to learn, and passion! Will you join us?
