Verification log
Partially verified - CIMA/CRCA decision (Feb 2025) confirms GUINEBIS SA; NSIA confirmed by group and company sources only · CIMA/CRCA Décision n°017/D/CIMA/CRCA/PDT/2025 of 14 Feb 2025, 'infligeant une amende à la société GUINEBIS SA, Bissau 01 (République de Guinée-Bissau)' for late filing of its 2023 annual return (https://cima-afrique.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Decision-n°017-25-Infligeant-une-amende-a-la-societe-GUINEBIS.pdf, retrieved 2026-09-26). CIMA, 'Communiqué final du Conseil des Ministres du 08 août 2024' (https://cima-afrique.org/communique-final-du-conseil-des-ministres-du-08-aout-2024/, retrieved 2026-09-26) for the derogation. ECOWAS Brown Card, Guinée-Bissau national bureau page (https://www.cartebrune.org/Guinee-Bissau.html, © 2019, retrieved 2026-09-26) lists three member insurers: GUINEBIS, SUNU ASSURANCE, NSIA ASSURANCE. WHO/Ministry of Health, Guinea-Bissau National Health Accounts 2018-2021 (https://www.afro.who.int/sites/default/files/2024-05/...GUINÉ-BISSAU_2018_2021web.pdf) names 'as seguradoras NSIA e GUINEBIS'. No count of licensed companies found.
Excluded: SUNU Assurances - listed on the 2019 Brown Card bureau page, but SUNU Group's current subsidiaries page (https://sunu-group.com/fr/notrereseau/filiales, retrieved 2026-09-26) lists 17 countries and no Guinea-Bissau entity; treated as no longer present or never locally licensed. 'Aliança Seguradora S.A., filial de Alliance Senegalês' appears only in a search snippet of a University of Lisbon thesis that could not be opened - unverified, excluded. No CRCA decision other than the GUINEBIS one names a Bissau company in 2017-2025. The CIMA derogation allows life insurers from other CIMA states to operate via branches; none was identified. Likely coverage: 2 of 2-3 insurers.
Licensed insurers in Guinea-Bissau
| Company | Class | Parent / group | Ownership | Regulator | Verification | Popularity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GUINEBIS SA Also written 'Guiné-Bissau Seguros S.A.'; a search excerpt says it was created by DC-L nº 1/97 (not confirmed on a primary page). Brown Card member (motor) and a health insurer per the National Health Accounts, so classed non-life; whether it writes life business is unknown. Ownership not researched (the Brown Card bureau address is c/o the state social-security institute INSPS, which does not establish ownership). | GGeneral (Non-life) | Parent not named in register | Domestic private | CIMA / CRCA | Partial | — |
| NSIA Assurances Guinée-Bissau Trades as 'NSIA Seguros'; Facebook page 'NSIA Assurances Guinée Bissau'. In the market since 2007 (O Democrata). Its site offers both life (savings, education, end-of-career) and non-life (motor, health, liability, travel) products, so classed composite; the CIMA derogation lets life business run through branches, so the life line may be a branch of another NSIA company - unconfirmed. Exact registered name not seen in an official document. | CComposite | NSIA Group | Pan-African group | CIMA / CRCA | Partial | — |
