QBE began because of the ambition of two young Scotsmen named James Burns and Robert Philp, who were partners in a shipping business. They founded the North Queensland Insurance Company Ltd (QI) in 1886 and then the Bankers’ and Traders’ Insurance Company (B&T) in 1921.

Sound investment strategies saw both companies weather the storms of The Great Depression and WWII. The two companies merged in 1973 to become QBE Insurance Group, in what The Australian Financial Review at the time called “one of the largest mergers in Australian history”.

Today, QBE has been in operation for 130 years and is one of the world’s top 20 general insurance and reinsurance companies. They employ more than 14,500 people in 37 countries.

QBE supports the community in a number of ways. The QBE Foundation directly supports charities to help people overcome disadvantage and live independently, such as Assistance Dogs Australia, Foodbank, The Kids’ Cancer Project, Camp Quality, and The Big Issue.

Employees of QBE receive one day of leave each year to volunteer for the cause of their choice. They can also apply for a local grant for the charity of their choice, or have their donations matched dollar for dollar by QBE in the workplace giving program.

QBE is also committed to promoting sustainable opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, organisations and businesses.

The company has also sponsored the Taronga Conservation Society Australia since 2005, supporting their two zoos, environmental advocacy campaigns, and other conservation projects.

The table below displays a snapshot of comprehensive car insurance policies on our database that at the time of writing offer a no claim bonus that isn’t always impacted by hail and flood damage or theft claims. Please note the results are based on a 30-39 year old male who lives in New South Wales and does not require an extra driver under 25 (with link to provider’s website, ordered by Star Rating), so some products may not be available to you. Remember to read the PDS carefully to understand each insurer’s policy on their no claims bonus.
