Stonebridge International Insurance was founded in 1998, and is part of AEGON Direct Marketing Services International and a member of the Aegon group of companies.

Aegon's history dates back to the mid-1800s. In 1983 AGO and Ennia merged and formed AEGON. In addition to the acquisitions of Scottish Equitable in the UK in 1983, Providian in the USA in the 1997, Guardian Royal Exchange Assurance in the UK in 1999, Transamerica in the USA in 1999, Stonebridge International Insurance Ltd was formed to provide a range of accident and health products.

The Aegon group provides life insurance, pensions and investments products and has some 40 million customers in over twenty markets in the Americas, Europe and Asia. The group has around 27,500 employees worldwide with total assets exceeding €332 billion as at 2010.

On 7 August 2014 the company was fined £8.3 million by UK regulators over tactics employed by companies which Stonebridge had outsourced the sale of many of their insurance policies to. These companies sold policies to some hundreds of thousands of people in the UK and Europe using telesales scripts that Stonebridge had provided, which the regulator said did not provide clear, fair and balanced information.

Stonebridge International Insurance Ltd. provides accident, health, and unemployment cover for individuals, which it promotes direct and through business partners across Europe within the financial, retail and utility sectors.
