About Feather
Feather is the brand of Popsure Deutschland GmbH, based in Berlin, which was founded in 2018 by Rob Schumacher and Vincent Audoire. The company is not an insurer but is registered as an insurance intermediary under section 34d of the Trade Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung) with the Berlin Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) and is entered in the broker register; supervision therefore lies with the competent IHK and not with BaFin (the German financial regulator). The risks are carried by established partner companies, including Barmenia for personal liability and dental supplementary cover, Hallesche for private comprehensive health insurance, and Advigon for fixed-term expat health insurance. The focus is on English-language advice and contract management for people who have recently moved to Germany. Among other things it arranges personal liability, home contents, legal expenses, dental supplementary cover and life insurance.
