By class of business
Each company is counted once, under the class its register row records. The supervisor’s own tally counts licences, so a company licensed for more than one class appears more than once there.
By ownership
Verification log
Partially verified - registers retrieved for 4 of the 6 member jurisdictions (Samoa, Cook Islands, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands); Tonga and Kiribati publish no list of licensed insurers · Four member-jurisdiction registers retrieved 23 Sep 2026: Central Bank of Samoa, Licensed Financial Institutions 2026 (updated April 2026) - 2 life + 5 general insurance companies; Cook Islands Financial Supervisory Commission, Insurers page - 1 Licence Category A insurer, 3 approved external insurers, 27 licensed captive insurers; Reserve Bank of Vanuatu, supervised financial institutions - 4 local insurance companies, 1 reinsurer, 3 international insurers, 1 external insurer, 4 captives; Central Bank of Solomon Islands, Financial System Infrastructure - 3 general insurers of which 1 also holds the life licence. Tonga: the National Reserve Bank of Tonga's own list of licensed financial institutions has no insurance category and the NRBT publishes no insurer register. Kiribati: neither MFED nor the Kiribati Financial Supervisory Authority publishes a licensee list.
Registers retrieved 23 Sep 2026 for four of the six member jurisdictions: Central Bank of Samoa (Licensed Financial Institutions 2026, updated April 2026), Cook Islands FSC, Reserve Bank of Vanuatu and Central Bank of Solomon Islands. Five of the seven rows were confirmed against a register and 48 licensed insurers were added, most of them Cook Islands and Vanuatu captive and offshore insurers that had never been recorded. QBE Insurance (Vanuatu) and Vanuatu Insurance were removed: neither appears in any RBV insurance category. Tonga and Kiribati publish no register, so the market stays partially verified; the Tonga row (Federal Pacific Insurance) was matched against the same insurer's Samoa and Cook Islands licences, not against a Tongan register.
