About Concordia

In 1914, when the Health and Accident Insurance Act (KUVG) was introduced, Concordia emerged from the Health Insurance Association of the Swiss Catholic People's Association. At first, its head office was in Zug. In 1919, Concordia moved to Lucerne.
On 1 January 2007, the Concordia Swiss Health and Accident Insurance Association assigned their health and accident insurance business to the newly founded corporation which carries the same name. The new corporation also took over all rights and obligations of the association. The corporation was integrated into a holding structure (Concordia Participations Ltd). As sole shareholder, the Concordia Association maintained control over the health insurance business.
