Overview

Dextra is a Swiss digital insurance carrier operating through two brands: Dextra Rechtsschutz AG, which provides legal protection insurance, and Simpego (formerly Dextra Versicherungen AG), which offers motor and property insurance. Founded in 2012, the group sells exclusively through digital channels in the Swiss market and does not operate a traditional agent or broker network. Dextra Rechtsschutz serves over 60,000 individual customers and more than 12,000 Swiss SMEs through a team of 90+ in-house attorneys. Simpego received FINMA licensing for motor insurance in November 2017 and has since grown to rank among the top 10 car insurers in Switzerland.

Both brands distribute products through fully digital platforms built on the sum.cumo (Sapiens) SCIP Sales e-commerce application. Simpego uses Earnix for machine learning-based pricing that recalculates motor insurance rates daily at the individual level. Dextra Rechtsschutz maintains a dedicated online portal for policyholders to file, track, and manage legal cases. In 2021, Dextra Versicherungen AG rebranded as Simpego to reflect product expansion beyond motor insurance into household, liability, pet, and specialty lines.

Pax Versicherungen led a Series A investment of CHF 10M+ in 2018, with Die Bayerische as co-investor. By autumn 2022, Pax Group had acquired a 60.84% majority stake in Simpego. Total capital raised across the group exceeded CHF 50M by 2020. In 2025, a capital increase brought Simpego's share capital from CHF 11.87M to CHF 13.41M.
