# Insurers Global

> The open directory of South America’s licensed insurance companies. Currently 811 licensed insurers, reinsurers and takaful operators across 11 countries in South America, categorised by class of business, ownership group and regulator, verified against supervisor registers on 2026-09-07 by KAFS North America (Kenbright Actuarial and Financial Services North America). Data is CC BY 4.0.

Use the JSON API rather than scraping HTML. Slugs are stable lowercase identifiers shared by pages and API files. Countries can also be looked up by ISO alpha-2 code through the WebMCP `get_country` tool. Every record carries a `continent` ("africa", "europe", "asia-pacific", "south-america") and a `verification` level: 6 of the 11 markets are compiled from market knowledge rather than a register and their rows are `unverified`. For EU/EEA undertakings, and for the SUSEP (Brazil) and SSN (Argentina) rows, the class and parent group are inferred from the entity name because those registers do not record them (see `classBasis`).
