We are Hellas Direct and we’re here for good

On paper, we are a digital insurance company. Between us, we are a savvy tech company that, up to now, offers fairly priced insurance, along with finance and mobility solutions.

We are Hellas Direct and we’re here for good

Since 2012, our mission has been simple: to shake up the Greek insurance sector for good. With innovation, motivation, and sheer determination, we’re here to set things right. Today, we’re a team of over 300 rebels, thinkers, and pioneers. But it all started with just two:
Alexis Pantazis and Emilios Markou.

    We acquired Rescueline in Cyprus, taking a big step toward offering a holistic insurance experience.

What drives us

At Hellas Direct, our mission is clear: we strive to redefine insurance in underserved markets across Europe.

We know who we are

As a team but also as individuals.

We care for the environment

We use our technology not just to offer contemporary and affordable insurance.
We think about the environment and how we can protect it with impactful actions.

  • Sustainable insurance

    In the face of climate change, we’re developing products to help people adapt. Our solutions address the growing risks and urgent challenges of this unprecedented situation.

  • Sustainable operations

    With services like FastTrack and phone-based claims reporting, we save 670 tonnes of CO2 and 500 tonnes of paper each year.

  • Sustainable mobility

    With products like wallet+, we support the purchase of new, more eco-friendly cars and help maintain older ones, enhancing road safety. This way, we’re playing our part in rejuvenating the Greek fleet and the mobility ecosystem.
