# Insurers Global

> The open directory of Africa’s licensed insurance companies. Currently 886 licensed insurers, reinsurers and takaful operators across 50 countries in Africa, categorised by class of business, ownership group and regulator, verified against supervisor registers on 2026-09-04 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") and a `verification` level: 38 of the 50 markets are compiled from market knowledge rather than a register and their rows are `unverified`. For EU/EEA undertakings the class and parent group are inferred from the entity name because the EIOPA register does not record them (see `classBasis`).
