Guarantees issued on a Swedish licence, and standing behind them, a hundred and thirty-four years of industrial judgement.
Vabis Försäkringsaktiebolag underwrites customs and excise guarantees, advance payment and retention bonds, trade credit insurance and environmental undertakings for a selected group of principals. Supervised by Finansinspektionen; concession held continuously since 1996.
Four lines, written to indemnity
Each instrument is an insurance contract issued under our concession — a conditional undertaking in favour of a named beneficiary, with recourse to the principal. None is a transferable security, and none is offered to the public.

Underwriting criteria, stated plainly
We would rather decline early than price badly. The parameters below frame a first conversation; files outside them can still be discussed, but expect questions before terms.
Suretyship is a credit discipline wearing an insurance licence. We underwrite the principal first and the contract second.

Calling a bond
A beneficiary calling a Vabis instrument deals with the underwriter directly — there is no broker in the settlement chain. Demands are acknowledged in writing within two business days and assessed against the bond wording alone.

Verify an instrument
Procuring authorities and their advisers may confirm that a bond presented to them was in fact issued by Vabis. Enter the reference printed at the foot of the instrument, or follow a direct link supplied in correspondence.
Governance, capital and disclosure
We report under Solvency II and publish an annual Solvency and Financial Condition Report. Beneficiaries, auditors and regulators are welcome to review it before accepting a Vabis instrument — most procuring authorities ask, and we would rather they did.

Vagnfabriks Aktiebolaget i Södertelge
The wagon works opened in Södertälje in 1891 and gave the town a vocabulary it never lost: tolerances, load ratings, service intervals. Our name is taken from it, and so is the habit behind our underwriting — understand the machine, understand the operator, then price the risk.
The insurance company itself was constituted in 1985 and received its concession in 1996. Four decades of writing industrial exposures produced an unusually concrete view of what actually goes wrong — on a site, in a fleet, along a bonded supply chain. That judgement is now available to a limited number of external principals.
Start with the obligor, not the form
Tell us who is being bonded, to whom, and for what. A short note is enough for an indication; we will come back with questions rather than a quote if the file needs them.
