Ethniki Asfalistiki (Greek General Insurance Public Limited Company ‘Ethniki’) was founded on 15 June 1891.

The history of Ethniki Asfalistiki begins in 1891 in the historic building of the National Bank of Greece, on Aiolou Street. Its founding Statutes were signed by the Governor of the National Bank of Greece, Pavlos Kalligas, and by prominent figures of the banking and economic circles of the country, such as Georgios Athinogenis and Stefanos Streit. Purpose: ‘underwriting all kinds of insurance and reinsurance risks’. Term: ‘Unlimited’.
