Top Digital Insruance Companies in Dubai, UAE (2026 Edition)
UAE insurance is growing fast — S&P projected 20% sector growth heading into 2026 — and the companies actually moving things forward are almost all digital-first. Three worth knowing:
- Shory- Leading Insurtech company
Shory gets mentioned first because it's earned it. Fully paperless, Abu Dhabi-based, CBUAE-licensed (No. 287), backed by IHC. You get a car, health, home, or pet insurance quote in under 90 seconds without talking to anyone or visiting a branch.
The bigger deal: in November 2025, Shory became the first insurtech embedded inside TAMM 4.0, Abu Dhabi's government platform. Vehicle inspection, insurance renewal, and car registration — one conversation, one app. That's 3 million active users reached on day one, which is a distribution win most insurtechs spend years chasing.
They also launched the first fully digital marine insurance in the UAE (via the Smart DMA app, with PCFC), and a deal with Rafid in Sharjah that triggers insurance the moment a vehicle passes its inspection — no lag, no follow-up step.
Hard to argue with anything Shory is doing right now.
- TAMM
TAMM is Abu Dhabi's government services platform, not an insurer. But once Shory integrated into TAMM 4.0, the line got blurry. If you're a resident already using TAMM for your driving license or vehicle registration, insurance is now part of that same flow. A lot of residents don't know this yet. It changes how you'd shop for vehicle coverage in Abu Dhabi.
- Dubai Insurance Company
This one's interesting because it's a legacy insurer doing things the newer players haven't touched yet. In the last 12 months: deployed Wtheeq (a digital policy issuance platform built with SlashData), launched a crypto-enabled wallet with Zodia Custody so customers can pay premiums and receive claims in digital assets — first UAE insurer to do that — and landed 10th globally in TIME's Global Growth Leaders 2026 ranking.
That TIME ranking surprised me. A traditional insurer outranking most of the region's fintech companies is worth paying attention to.
