הראל ביטוח ופיננסים

Harel Insurance Investments and Financial Services was founded in 1935 by Ernst and Margot Hamburger. The company is headquartered at "Harel House" in the Diamond Exchange District of Ramat Gan. It is publicly traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under the ticker HARL. Harel employs thousands of workers in Israel and operates as a major insurance and financial group offering health, life, and general insurance, alongside pension and provident fund management. A notable recent event was Harel's attempt to acquire the credit card company Isracard, a deal that was blocked by the Israel Competition Authority in early 2024.

Harel focuses on providing insurance and long-term savings products to the Israeli market, holding the largest market share in Israel for health insurance. Although not a traditional software vendor, Harel operates one of the largest IT and technology divisions in the Israeli financial sector. This division develops customer-facing applications, claims automation systems, and big data platforms used for risk assessment and actuarial analysis.
