How claims and services feel for customers
On a practical level, Zurich couples Hausratversicherung with a multi-channel service model: customers can file claims online, via telephone hotlines or through tied agents, and in many common cases the insurer aims to settle straightforward theft or small fire damage quickly after documentation.

Zurich’s customer journey work, discussed by Chief Customer Officer Katja de Paoli in several industry panels, focuses on reducing friction points such as scanned receipts and photo uploads, so that for a broken TV or water-damaged bookshelf, the process feels closer to a standard e-commerce return than to a paper-heavy insurance ritual.
