Today's insurance group KPTAG, headquartered in Berne, goes back to the railroad workers' occupational health insurance fund, which was founded as a cooperative in 1890. This is where the abbreviation comes from: Krankenversicherung Personentransportunternehmen. In the 1930s, the health insurance funds were initially open to federal civil servants, and later to state and municipal civil servants. Since 1992, KPT has been open to all those interested in health and accident insurance. Since its restructuring in 2007, the company has been structured as a holding company and is managed as a joint stock company. The integrated group of companies, with over 600 employees, serves 410,000 policyholders and generated sales of around CHF 1.8 billion in 2019.
