The register gives no class and the name does not settle it, so classCode is U. The logo the DGIFN publishes for this entry reads "L'AFRICAINE DES ASSURANCES - CONGO BRAZZAVILLE" (saved as ev/republic-of-congo/logos/3-1.png). Ownership not researched.; Registered as AFRICAINE DES ASSURANCES CONGO

"IARD" (incendie, accidents et risques divers) is the CIMA term for non-life, so the register's own entry settles the class as G. Group taken from the register's own company name and the logo the DGIFN publishes for this entry, which reads "SUNU Assurances" (ev/republic-of-congo/logos/5.png); ownership not otherwise researched. Reviewer note: the company name was "Sunu IARD Congo" as first written; the "Congo" token appears nowhere in the evidence, so it was cut back to the register's own name.

The register gives only the acronym "AMC"; the logo the DGIFN publishes for this entry reads "AMC ASSURANCES" (saved as ev/republic-of-congo/logos/7-1.jpg). No class is given and the name does not settle it, so classCode is U. Ownership not researched.; Registered as AMC

Non-life (IARD). Group link: a search excerpt of saar-assurances.com lists 'EGICO S.A. in Equatorial Guinea' among SAAR group companies, SAAR's own group page lists Guinée Équatoriale as a country of operation, and the 2018 CRCA decision names Paul Fokam Kammogne (SAAR/Afriland founder) as chairman. Group link not confirmed on a primary SAAR page. Licence date not found.

Created by Presidential Decree 56/2007 as the oil-and-gas sector insurer; CIMA licence No. 104 after a favourable opinion in 2018, IARD business; capital XAF 5 billion; offices in Malabo and Bata. Shareholders named as GEPETROL S.A. and BANGE (both state-controlled), Africa Re and PROINCOGE, percentages not stated - state-owned classification inferred from the state entities' presence, not from a stated majority.

Non-life. Subsidiary of the Beninese L'Africaine des Assurances group (address Zone Caracolas, Avenue Parques de Africa, Malabo). A search summary dates the subsidiary to 2005; not confirmed on a primary page.

Non-life. Placed under provisional administration by CRCA Décision N°0005-20 (2020); lifting not found, but the 2025 decision treats it as a filing insurer (2023 annual return). A directory states CIMA recognition since 14 April 2004 (unconfirmed). Parent link to Chanas Assurances S.A. (Douala) is from web directories, not the register.

Life and capitalisation insurer, inaugurated 6-7 May 2023 in Sipopo. Sika Finance reports the state holds a majority stake; chairman Antonio Oburu Ondo. Company describes itself as 'VidaSEguros EG, S.A.', the first and only national life insurer. No CRCA decision naming it was found, so its CIMA approval date is unconfirmed.

BCSTP: 'SAT Insurance ... de capital camaronês, licenciada em 2001 no Ramo Geral, que posteriormente, em 2013, começou a realizar operações no Ramo Vida' - so composite (general since 2001, life since 2013). A SAAR group web excerpt describes SAAR STP as a SAAR Cameroon subsidiary established in 2002 with USD 500,000 initial capital (dates differ from the BCSTP's 2001 licence).

BCSTP: 'A Nicon Seguros SA STP, empresa de seguros, de capital Nigeriano, iniciou a sua actividade em 2008, no Ramo geral.' Full name Nicon Seguros SA STP. The link to NICON Insurance Limited (formerly the National Insurance Corporation of Nigeria) comes from the name, the BCSTP's 'Nigerian capital' and a Nigerian court record describing NICON Seguros STP as a NICON subsidiary; current shareholding not verified.
