Type
Cooperative (part of Desjardins Group)
A cooperative that answers to members
Desjardins Insurance is part of the Desjardins Group, founded in 1897 and today the largest cooperative financial group in Canada. As a cooperative, it's owned by its members — not by shareholders — which means its decisions are driven by member needs, not quarterly profit targets.
That cooperative model shapes everything from pricing to service to community reinvestment. For clients who want their insurer to be accountable to the people it serves, Desjardins offers a genuinely different relationship.
Strength in Quebec, reach nationwide
Desjardins has an especially deep presence in Quebec, where it's woven into the financial lives of millions of families and businesses. But its reach extends nationwide, offering life, health, savings, and group benefits to clients across Canada.
Because the Desjardins Group also includes banking and wealth management, clients can coordinate insurance with everyday banking and investments under one trusted cooperative umbrella.
