Snapshot
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
“Cross-border groups” counts foreign multinationals and pan-regional groups; “domestically owned” counts domestic private, state-owned, mutual and captive entities. The register records the parent’s type, not its home market. How ownership is recorded

Section 1 establishes BaFin as a federal public-law institution from 1 May 2002, combining the former banking, insurance and securities supervisory offices.
- Insurance Supervision Act (VAG) · Insurance supervision framework
BaFin applies the VAG to insurance undertakings, together with Solvency II requirements and its published supervisory guidance.
Verification log
Class and group inferred from name - see Master List basis columns. The Source count is the EIOPA export for this market; the published total is 499 because one Art. 162 third-country branch (Helvetia's German branch, head office Switzerland) is assigned here from its head-office code, not because a row is missing.
