Our capabilities
what we do and how we do it
Many retailers worry that launching a protection program will be a complex, time-consuming, resource-intensive process. Plus, you may have real questions about the service that new, unknown providers can offer.
We get your customers back up and running quick and easy, without the hassle.
Your customers will always find a brilliant option that suits, whether it’s an in-store fix, an overnight repair or our seamless mail-in service.
Plans for portable electronics as well as household appliances cover drops, spills, and life's accidents.
When repairs are needed, we pay for shipping to and from our repair centre.
Mechanical and electrical failures plus product breakdowns are covered after the manufacturer's warranty expires.
We cover 100% parts and labour for all approved claims with no hidden fees. (Some plans do include an excess fee).
Your customers can file a claim online anytime, anywhere. Most online claims take less than 10 minutes and are instantly approved. If customers prefer to speak to us, we operate an omni-channel model with voice or messaging through chat, SMS, WhatsApp or email.
Selected refrigerator and freezer plans cover up to £300 of spoiled food caused by the mechanical failure of the protected appliance.
Selected washer and dryer plans cover up to £50 for missed laundry caused by mechanical failure of the protected appliance.
As well as the actual devices, we cover the accessories that come with the device at purchase. From chargers to headphones, we take care of all the bits and pieces.
For the past decade, it’s been our mission to transform the insurance industry. To turn it into something that helps people and makes a positive impact on the planet. Everything we’ve achieved so far has been down to our love of innovation, our teamwork, and our obsession with customer service. But mostly, it’s been down to following the golden rule: Treat others as you want to be treated.
And that’s also the kind of work environment you’ll find at SquareTrade. We’re passionate about what we do. We believe that creativity and innovative thinking are our most precious resources. We’ll never stop asking how we can do things better. We're a culturally diverse team with over 15 different nationalities represented and 20 languages spoken. We treat each other with respect, inclusiveness, and integrity.
We understand how important the SquareTrade team is and that’s why we’ve built a benefits package that promotes wellbeing and personal growth in all areas of our colleagues’ lives. Here are some of the benefits included:
Treat every customer as if you were that customer.
Never stop asking how we can do things better.
Use resources wisely. Creativity, smart execution, and long-term thinking are free.
Be passionate about what you do. Make a difference. Get stuff done.
Hire the best. Then respectfully challenge them to do their best.
Be honest, be humble. Be you. With our customers, clients, competitors, and each other.
Want to help us change the industry for the better? If you’re all about service innovation and award-winning customer support, you may just be our missing piece. If you’re ready to work with some amazing people, apply for a role with us.

With SquareTrade, your customers are always in the hands of people who care.
We’re not your average consumer insurance provider. Our powerful combination of excellent customer performance, rigour, sales expertise, and innovative use of technology means we’re able to direct our partners to more sales with better conversion rates.
We support our partners with dedicated account managers and in-country sales support teams who work with sales staff to drive our high attach rates. Our customers can self-serve online 24/7 or speak to our 120+ multilingual call-centre staff in Berlin and Seville. Our technical infrastructure also offers clear traceability of all customer interactions, so your customers are always updated on their claim status. We’re always on hand to look after your customers, whether it be via email, phone or online.
We have a fully integrated pan-European supply chain, including a matrix of core European depots, logistics partners and local repair hubs. This gives our customers the fastest servicing options available in Europe, including: 1 hour walk-in, 48 hour in-depot repair and overnight exchange for mobile anywhere across the continent.
We have the lowest cost base in the industry, translating into significantly better commercials for our partners.
We take care of costly things like service visits when your customers’ tumble dryers, fridge freezers, and other big appliances are playing up, giving them a seamless and fuss-free process. With these major savings, your customers are likelier to stick around for longer, increasing the average life cycle of your policies.
As products, technology, and customer expectations evolve, so do we. Whether it be product protection, tech support, on-site service buyback & trade-in or seamless partner integration, we've got you covered - so you can be sure your customers are receiving the most up-to-date support.
We manage the tricky bits. Everything from ordering parts to making appointments and chatting to customers is covered. This means that whether it's a repair or replacement, our number one priority will always be getting your customers back up and running, pronto. Our great service means your customers are likelier to stick around for longer, increasing the average lifetime of your policies.

SquareTrade Limited
5 Golden Square
W1F 9BS
London
United Kingdom
We want to be the best mobile phone, electronics and appliances insurance company in the world.
SquareTrade is the fastest growing partner in the global device protection market and we work with many of the world’s largest operators, retailers and manufacturers. Our obsession with putting the customer first, from our transparent T&Cs, to our better 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 "good" 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.
Sustainability
Sure, we love saving everything from electronics to furniture… but we’re also trying to do our bit to protect the planet.
Check out some of our key activity with our European partners
We don’t just fix screens effectively - we do it fast. But how fast exactly? We revealed that and more when we headed to Campus, by far the biggest home-electronics show in the Nordics, as Elkjøp welcomed around 7000 staff-members, partners and suppliers to the event. At our stand, the SquareTrade field team engaged with over 3000 agents, showcasing who we are and what we do best, including on-the-spot live repairs - after the devices had been dropped on the floor by our destructive robot friend, Breakbot.
Who said insurance was no fun? We took SquareTrade on the road last year when we visited every youSee store in Denmark. Our promotional team brought exciting games, freebies and on the spot prizes to really bring our product to life. From a blindfolded jigsaw challenge to a digital spin-the-wheel, we stopped off at 41 stores across the country to offer agents the opportunity to win big - and 22 of them did, landing themselves some delicious prizes. This created fantastic in-store engagement, with agents from every single location excited to take part, no matter how busy they were.
