Intact Financial Corporation is a leading Canadian property and casualty insurance provider offering a broad range of personal and commercial insurance products and services. Its primary operations in Canada are conducted through Intact Insurance and belairdirect, while its specialty insurance business in the United States operates under the OneBeacon Insurance Group brand.

Tracing its origins to the Halifax Fire Insurance Association founded in 1809, Intact Financial has expanded through a series of strategic mergers and acquisitions. In 2002, it integrated ING Canada’s insurance operations, followed by the acquisition of AXA Canada in 2011. A significant milestone occurred in 2017 with the purchase of OneBeacon, which strengthened its U.S. specialty insurance footprint. These transactions have helped the company diversify its product offerings and geographic reach while adapting to evolving customer needs.
Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Intact Financial is guided by President and Chief Executive Officer Charles F. Brindamour. The company emphasizes digital innovation and operational excellence, investing in technology platforms to streamline underwriting, distribution, and claims processing. Governance is overseen by an experienced board of directors committed to regulatory compliance, strong risk management practices, and long-term value creation for policyholders and stakeholders alike.
