About
A register of registers
Insurers Global collects, in one place and one format, the licensed insurance companies that each national supervisor publishes separately. It is researched, verified and provided free of charge by KAFS North America, and published openly so that people and software can rely on a single, citable source.

What is in the directory
The current release covers Europe: 3,755 licensed insurers, reinsurers, takaful operators, microinsurers and specialist carriers across 46 countries, 109 multi-country groups, and the supervisory authority for every market. Each entity is recorded with its class of business, parent group, ownership type, regulator, local currency and the basis on which it was sourced.
- Europe: 3,755 entities in 46 markets, verified 2026-09-03. Every EU/EEA undertaking in the EIOPA register, Switzerland from FINMA, the UK and Gibraltar from the PRA list, plus principal carriers in non-EEA markets.
For EU/EEA undertakings the source is the EIOPA Register of Insurance Undertakings, which records legal name, home country, supervisor, identifiers and registration dates but not class of business or ownership. Class and parent group for those rows are inferred from the entity name and marked as such on every insurer page and in the API (classBasis, groupBasis). Where the name gives no signal the class is recorded as “Not stated in register”. Third-country branches in the EIOPA export are listed under the market whose supervisor authorised them, with the head-office jurisdiction in the notes. Two small markets are combined as their sources present them: Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man; and Monaco, Andorra and San Marino.
How entities are verified
Wherever a supervisor publishes a full register, every row for that country is checked against it. Closed, revoked or unlicensed entities are removed and omissions added. The verification loops for this release ran on 2026-09-03 (Europe). Each country page carries one of three badges, and every insurer inherits its country’s badge:
- Verified against regulator register33 countries. Checked line by line against the supervisor’s complete published register.
- Partially verified0 countries. Checked against a regulator list, gazette extract or member register that may be incomplete.
- Compiled from market knowledge13 countries. Compiled from market knowledge and public sources; not yet reconciled with the regulator. Verify before relying on it.
The register source used for each country is shown on its page and in the regulators endpoint. Regulatory events that changed the register in 2026, such as recapitalisation deadlines or licence revocations, are recorded as market notes on the affected country pages.
What the directory is not
It is not a licence certificate and does not confirm that an entity is currently authorised to transact business. Supervisors update registers continuously; always confirm on the regulator’s own website, linked from every country page, before relying on an entry for a regulated purpose.
